Breast Reduction and Acid Reflux Disease?

Thank you for the question. Yes, you can have breast reduction surgery despite acid reflux disease. It is likely that your anesthesiologist will take certain precautions and use certain medications during your procedure, to prevent complications related to the acid reflux. I think you are doing the right thing by having the gastro intestinal workup done prior to the breast reduction surgery. Best wishes.
