Are you a candidate for breast reduction?

Michael C. Edwards, MD answers: Breast reduction for 46m cup size?

I was considering a breast reduction because I'm about 5'0 and I wear a size 46m in bra size. I have severe back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as low self-esteem because of my breasts. Am I a good candidate for this procedure?

By the information you have provided you sound as though you are a good candidate for breast reduction surgery. The best way to tell is to meet with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can review your history, perfom and exam and then discuss your options with you. This is typically a very gratifying operation for large breasted women but preparation is key to a successful outcome. Take care.
