Would Being Anemic Cause Severe Complications with Breast Reduction?

May 8, 2010
Asked By:TheLadyzilla in Atlanta, GA

I am 24, 5'5", 150lbs, and have 34H breasts. I have desired to have them reduced since I was in high school. The thing I am worried about is my anemia. I am worried about something happening to me during surgery because of it. The only time I have lost blood is when we decided to do a group STD test. After having only the two vials drained, I was light-headed for almost 10 minutes. Is this something that could be remedied by taking Iron supplements, or am I basically stuck with these terrible breasts because of it?
