Not a Good Idea!

Michael S. Beckenstein, 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.

This magnitude of a change is drastic and would probably not be proportional to her body. She should consider being reduced to a size that is in proportion to her body and maybe slightly smaller. This will alleviate her symptoms and make her look much better.

Pondering mastectomies instead of being larger than an A cup is alarming. There may be some issues here that need to be explored!
