Breast reduction. Breast Augmentation
Answer: My breasts are a 46 DDD. I've had breasts from the 2nd grade. I weigh 220. Am I a candidate for the surgery? (Photo) Hello! Thank you for your question and photos. Just by looking at your photos, it appears that you may be a great #candidate for a #Breast #reduction surgery. Candidates for #BreastReduction surgery are women who wish to have smaller #breasts to achieve a more proportional appearance or to alleviate physical discomfort. Breast reduction can correct symptoms from excessively #largeheavybreasts that may cause the inability to do certain exercises, or create back, shoulder and neck pain, poor posture, bra-strap shoulder indentations and chafing or rashes under the breasts. Women experiencing these discomforts may benefit from Breast Reduction, also called #ReductionMammoplasty. Furthermore, large breasts may interfere with normal daily activities or exercise and will be more comfortable when reduced. Women who feel that their excessive breast size decreases a sense of attractiveness and self-confidence, or results in unwanted attention are also candidates. If you plan to see if your insurance covers any of the charges, be sure to have your physician document your discomforts. Also, choose a #Board #Certified #plastic #surgeon to evaluate you and discuss any questions or concerns you may have. I will attach a link for you to locate a #BCPS. Best wishes!

Answer: My breasts are a 46 DDD. I've had breasts from the 2nd grade. I weigh 220. Am I a candidate for the surgery? Without a good set of photos of the breast, and the benefit of physical exam, and without having more info- it's difficult to comment accurately. Generally speaking- large breasts can be reduced and lifted surgically, provided a patient is healthy and is a good candidate

Answer: Breast reduction candidate, some advices: Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us. After having analyzed all the information provided to us, i can realize that you have very large breasts for your height and weight, and can be responsible later for head, back, neck and shoulder pain.In the future may cause permanent osteo-articular damage in the back and shoulders and skin problems (mainly under the breasts). For for this reasons, certainly you need a breast reduction surgery.Respectfully, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-

Answer: Breast Reduction You are a good candidate for breast reduction surgery as long as you do not have any untreated medical conditions like hypertension or diabetes. Some weight loss prior to surgery would help optimize your results.

Answer: My breasts are a 46 DDD. I've had breasts from the 2nd grade. I weigh 220. Am I a candidate for the surgery? Thank you for the question. 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 to perform. You will be best off getting as close as possible to your long-term stable weight prior to proceeding. “Typical” patients who present for breast reduction surgery are women who have disproportionately large breasts, causing problems such as neck/back/shoulder discomfort, postural changes, bra strap grooving, skin irritation/rashes under the breasts, and/or difficulty with activities of daily living and/or exercise etc. There may be both physical as well as psychosocial “stress” caused by the disproportionately large breasts. Reducing breast tissue mass and elevating the breasts on the chest wall tend to improve or alleviate many of the symptoms associated with the disproportionately large breasts. Patients considering breast reduction surgery should also consider the potential downsides (risks/complications) associated with the procedure as well. Poor scarring, for example may be associated with the procedure. Additional surgery may be necessary in the short or longer term for a multitude of reasons. Timing of service should be individualized based on the specific patient's life circumstances and preferences. When the time is right, I suggest that you seek consultation with well experienced plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience achieving the types of outcomes you would be pleased with. I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to breast reduction surgery concerns), helps. Best wishes. —
