Answer: Am I a good candidate for a breast reduction? It really depends on what size you want your breasts to be. A breast reduction is intended to significantly reduce the size of your breasts which often dramatically improves related back and neck discomfort. A breast reduction can also lift the nipple if needed and tighten the surrounding skin. A breast reduction will not give you an "implanted" look because the skin will stretch out some over time. Spend some time talking to a board certified plastic surgeon and look at some before and after pictures.

Answer: Good candidate for breast reduction? Based on your photos and symptoms, I would say that you are a great candidate for a breast reduction. You might also be a good candidate for a reduction with tissue matrix to help support the breasts long term. It is important to choose an experienced board certified plastic surgeon who can review all of your options with you based on your lifestyle and desired outcome (other than relief from neck and back pain). Best of luck to you!
