Breast Reduction and PMDD?

I’m 40,~5”1’,106#,34D.I’ve always felt top heavy and embarrassed.I recently started going to a hormone dr bcuz I have PMDD emotional & physically (bloating, swollen & sore breasts). He put me on some hormones which I think might be helping me emotionally but physically it is not (maybe even worse). He advised I give it a few more mnths he said it should help. I asked if it doesn’t if a BR could be an option. He said as a last resort, yes. Would my severe PMS affect the surgery and/or post-op.
