Losing weight for breast reduction

Bahram Ghaderi, MD answers: Is non-surgical breast reduction possible?

Is there a way to make the breasts a couple of sizes smaller, or is surgery the only way to go?

There are some patients whose breast size is directly related to their weight. So, the only non-surgical method for breast reduction would be weight loss. Other patients' weight has no relationship with their weight. Their breast size stays the same even if they lose weight. Those patients will benefit extremely from a breast reduction surgery.

Breast reduction patients are some of the happiest due to the life changing surgery. They have less back and neck pain, they appear more proportionate, fit into clothing better and look thinner, are able to exercise better, and do not feel self conscious.
