I'm considering a Breast Reduction next year in Spring 2010. I'm 5 ft tall and about 50 lbs. overweight. I have many problems regarding my large breasts: from rashes to neck pain and all. I have a 36 DD and want to go to a lower B size. What is your opinion? I thank you in advance for your answer.
On what basis are you 50 pounds overweight? Look at your lifestyle and optimize your health as far as diet,exercise and activity level is concerned prior to any body-contouring procedure. A consultation with a plastic surgeon can put your breast size in context and guide you in the timing of your surgery.
If you feel you are overweight, you may want to lose some weight prior to a breast reduction. This will help minimize any complications such as infection, wound healing problems or blood clots if you go into the surgery at a lower weight. Losing some weight before surgery may also be reflected in your breast size, which may become smaller. To go from a DD bra cup to a B may be difficult in that the breast size may become slightly flattened in appearance; give some thought to becoming a C cup in order to maintain a nice breast shape.
Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your weight and to determine the best time to proceed with your breast reduction. A breast reduction procedure should most definitely improve your issues of neck pain and skin rashes.
Best wishes,
Dr. Bruno
