I have diabetes. Can I have a breast reduction? (Photo)

 I am sorry to hear about the problems your disproportionately large breasts cause.Based on your description, you may be an excellent candidate for breast reduction surgery; this operation tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform. Patients are encouraged to try to have the procedure performed when they are at their long-term stable weight if possible.Well-controlled diabetes will not in itself pose a contraindication to breast reduction surgery. I would suggest an evaluation and “medical clearance” from your primary care physician.Best wishes.

   If your blood sugars are well controlled and you do not have any other medical problems, proceeding with surgery may be reasonable.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA

 In my opinion as long as your glucose  is controlled you can have a breast reduction.
