Breast Reduction - For My Wife

She can - but I don't know that it would be advisable. There are many reasons to have a breast reduction; among the most common on this forum are pain (neck, back and shoulder), rashes, and bra strap grooving. But other issues - including sexual preference, transgenderism, etc., are often a factor in this decision. It would be difficult to reduce the breasts shown in this photo without leaving scars that would, in my opinion, render the result less aesthetic than it is now... more

Reducing the size of your wife's breasts

Thank you for your question. I would suggest that your wife visit with board certified plastic surgeons to discuss her desired goals. I ask patients who come to see me to bring in photos of what they would like to achieve and after I examine them, I can discuss with the patient if she is a good candidate. Make sure that this is a procedure that your wife is wanting.. most ethical plastic surgeon's won't perform surgery on a patient if she is making a change to make... more

Reduction from B to A for sexual preference

Your wife's breasts look completely appropriate and natural. Personally, I would not undertake this surgery and would suggest that any ethical plastic surgeon refer you to a psychologist or psychiatrist to clarify the basis for the surgery prior to proceeding. If the goal is a gender change or modification, then this should be explicitly stated.

Breast reduction for sexual preference

Sure, it can be done. Only, good luck finding someone who will do it. Don't expect insurance to pick up the bill as she is certainly not large enough. Dr. H

Breast reduction in small breasted woman

As you can see the question along with that picture makes for a lot of unhappy plastic surgeons. if is is truly HER request look into the Scarless Reduction which uses liposuction only. Quick easy simple and maybe go 1/2-1 cup size. think carefully before doing this as we are all happy with the picture as it is.

Scarless Breast Reduction

Her breast are normal in size and shape now, but if she would like them smaller, then I would recommend lipoplasty to her breasts. The size would probably drop to a A cup and the incisions are very small and hidden--SCARLESS BREAST REDUCTION.

Yes as a simple full mastectomy. Best to see boarded PSs in your area to discuss the options with you both.

Bad question

Reducing her breasts is not a good idea. I agree with my colleagues, she has beautiful natural breasts and I wouldn't reduce them.

Breast Reduction for 34 B breasts

It can technically be done but insurance would not pay for it since she is not having any neck, back or breast problems.

The problem is you

You should see a Therapist. Your wife needs to ask for the procedure, why maim someone with beautiful normal breasts. If you like flat chested women, find someone else.

Can my Wife Get a Breast Reduction for Sexual Preference?

What you are asking is not a technical but much more of an ethical Plastic Surgery question. You - not your wife - are asking if a Plastic surgeon would be willing to flatten attractive, youthful 34B breasts to satisfy your sexual preferences. Personally, I think it is against my patient's long term interests and I refuse to operate on ANY woman whose desire to put herself on the OR table and submit to all the associated potential complication is to please her significant other... more
