After losing 30 lbs, my bra size went from 42DDD to 38G and my blood pressure went from 110/70 to 90/60. I don't want to risk going UP more cup sizes or going down any further in BP by losing more weight, even though at 5'7" and 175 my BMI makes me overweight. Chiro visits & physical therapy have not helped my back and massage therapy is very temporary relief. I'm considering a breast reduction for the first time (I'm 40) and wondering if I'm even a candidate since I have low blood pressure.
As the other physicians have stated, low blood pressure is usually not a problem for surgery, nor should it be a reason for you to stop losing weight. At this point your pressure will stay where it is no matter how much extra weight you lose. I recommend continued dieting and exercise and a consultation with a board certified plasticsurgeon to assess whether you are a good candidate for breast reduciton surgery.

I have had large breasts since I was in 4th grade. When every other little girl was still wishing for boobs, I was trying to figure out a way to smash mine flat under 2 sports bras. I am 30 now, and after 3 rounds of breast feeding and lapband, I now no longer have DDD boobs...I have the DDD skin with a D filling! So, I'm scheduled for a reduction on December 2. The thing is though, all my friends keep telling me that I'm not that big and just need a lift...and maybe even an implant! Of course, all my friends either have had implants or wish they could! I am the only one who has suffered through life with huge boobs. Being young and social, I often am remembered as "oh yeah! Mary...with those big boobs!" I would love to be remembered as "Mary, that really intelligent and interesting woman", or "Mary...that really nice person". I am also having a tummy tuck on October 14th, so I can't imagine how big my boobs will look after my stomach is flat. So, I'm posting some pictures of me now...before my surgery. What is your opinion? My doctor says that he wants to make me a small C cup, which I am perfectly happy with. All my friends say I just need a lift and a small implant to fill me out...that I am crazy for wanting to get rid of what God gave me! In the end, I'm going to go with the reduction I'm sure...because its about quality, not quantity to me! I'd rather be "franken-booby" as one of my friends called it, than have great big watermelon boobs.
HI,
Listen to your heart, mind and surgeon, not your friends. You have a great deal of droop to your breasts and a fair amount of volume as well. It is important to ensure that your surgeon understands exactly how much volume you desire to retain at the end of the surgery, but it is clear that the reduction (which is by nature also a lift) is the right choice for you! Be reassured that you have made the right choice.
All my best,

Hi. I had a breast reduction surgery about 4 months ago. prior to surgery i was a 32DDD. Now I'm a 32 full D almost a DD. i asked to be a B/C. I think I'm still too large. i have heard about breast Liposuction but will this work after you have already had a reduction? if so will it make my breast saggy? My new breast have a great shape and have been lifted, but are still heavy and large. I just dont think enough was removed. Also i feel my left breast is larger then my right.
Depending on how glandular or fatty your breast is, liposuction can be a useful adjunct to any reduction procedure. I would wait at least another 2 months to allow the new scar tissue to loosen up. Also be aware that if insurance covered the procedure at first, it will not cover minor revisions.
