Is Breast Reduction Safe for Patient with Psoriasis?

Thank you for the question.

It would be best for you to be seen by your dermatologist to make sure the psoriasis is as well controlled as possible prior to the breast reduction procedure. Otherwise the risk/benefit ratio is in your favor.

Best wishes.

Psoriasis can be aproblem with wound healing if it is active. You would need to be seen by your dermtologist before having the procedure.

Today there are many excellent techniques for breast reduction surgery. If you're psoriasis is under control, it may be possible to perform a breast reduction between active episodes. Your best bet is to work with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has a great deal of experience in breast reduction surgery and skin conditions. They will determine the severity of your psoriasis and also see if they can place incisions or design the surgery so as not to aggravate your condition.
