Drastic change

Michael C. Edwards, MD answers: Breast reduction from 36DD to an A?

My 29-yr-old daughter is a 36DD and wants to have reduction down to an A cup. Is that feasible?

She would rather have a double mastectomy than have breasts larger than A. She has been planning on this surgery for many years.

It isn't that women who have breast reductions are all by and large very happy with their change we try to keep some proportion. I would recommend that she pick a local board-certified plastic surgeon to have a consultation with to review her options. When a women comes in to see me basically stating that they want mastectomies, this is a concern and she may want to seek some counselling prior to any surgery. This doesn't mean that she could be a good candidate for breast reduction but proper care must be taken before embarking down the path to surgery.
