Non-surgical reduction of the breast?

Armando Soto, MD answers: Breast reduction exercises?

I have obnoxiously large breasts, and I dread waking up in the morning because of them. I cannot afford surgery (one doctor quoted me at $15,000 for breast reduction and lift). I was wondering if there are specific exercises I can do to reduce my breast size dramatically? Thanks.

Hi there-

Unfortunately there are no safe non-surgical means for meaningful reduction of breast size...

A woman's breast is composed of fatty tissue, glandular tissue (the milk-producing tissue), and skin- so depending on the relative volumes within your breasts, you may be able to reduce the size a bit through weight loss, which will reduce the amount of fat and therefore the overall volume. More significant volume reduction and improvement in shape and position of the breasts will definitely require surgery.

As for the availability of the surgery to you- the costs you were quoted sound a bit high- I would recommend you visit other surgeons who may be able to achieve your goals for you within a more reasonable fee structure.  

Breast reduction surgery is among the procedures with the highest level of  patient satisfaction, and can truly be life changing- Good luck- I hope you get what you want!
