I'm 19, 34DDD, want a breast reduction. (photos)

Thank you very much for your question and your photographs. From
your pictures, it does appear that you would benefit from a breast reduction
procedure. A reduction mammoplasty can alleviate the back pain, shoulder
discomfort, and the physical issues you are experiencing due to heavy breasts.
To find out if you are a good candidate for the breast reduction, I recommend
that you schedule a consultation appointment with a board certified plastic
surgeon. At this time, he/she can perform a physical evaluation of your breast
tissue and discuss your medical history to determine if a breast reduction is
right for you.

Thanks for your question and photos. It appears you would be a good candidate for a breast reduction to alleviate the symptoms you described. With that said, it's important to have an in person exam and consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who. They can evaluate your measurements, skin elasticity, and best surgical plan for your desired outcome. Make sure to look at their before and after photos of patients with similar anatomy to give you an idea of what can be expected.

Hi,The Horndeski Method/The Bellesoma Method is a current technique to lift and/or reduce breasts without using implants or the ugly vertical scars.  The incisions are hidden around the areola and in the inframammary crease. The vertical incision has been completely eliminated. The areola incision heals almost invisibly due to the fact that there is hardly any tension on the closure. With this particular technique, ducts are preserved along with nerve supply maintaining nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed. Because the breast is reshaped internally and is secured to your chest muscles, upper pole fullness is possible without an implant. Attached is a patient who underwent The Horndeski Method/The Bellesoma Method. Please note that her tissue was used to create upper pole fullness and cleavage without any foreign materials (mesh, implants, etc).  I hope this helps. Best wishes and kind regards, Dr. Gary Horndeski

Thank you for the question and the photos.   I would recommend you make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and surgical options.Good Luck

Hi Raethewriter;
Breast reduction surgery is an excellent way to relieve the problems you are describing. Make sure to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon and in my opinion, find someone who can perform a vertical breast lift vs the anchor scar pattern. 

Thank you for your question. You look like you are a good candidate for breast reduction to improve your symptoms. The best way to do this is with an in person consultation to discuss exactly what needs to be done. 

 Your recent weight loss did nothing to change the size of your breasts because they are composed of mostly breast tissue with very little fat. You would seem to be an excellent candidate for breast reduction. Please visit with a qualified plastic surgeon and learn about the procedure.

Thank you for reaching out and posting photos! Sorry for your discomfort, definitely visit a few experienced board certified surgeons for in person consultations to learn about all of your options! Best of luck. Dr. Kachenmeister

You are a good candidate for a breast lift/ reduction. If you're ready to have surgery, you should see a local plastic surgeon so they can examine you and answer all your questions in person. 

I'm sorry to hear about the physical and mental problems your disproportionately large breasts are causing you. It is probable that you are dealing with juvenile breast hypertrophy. Based on your description, you may be an excellent candidate for breast reduction surgery; it is one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform.  Ultimately, careful selection of plastic surgeon and careful communication of goals will be key.  If I were seeing you in consultation, I would ask that you communicate your goals with the help of "visual aids", such as goal photographs and computer imaging.
 It will also be important that you learn about the potential risks/complications associated with breast reduction surgery. Unsatisfactory scarring is one of the potential complications. Make sure you also understands that further surgery may be necessary in the future (for example if the breasts were to grow in size again).
Some of the risks/potential complications associated with breast reduction surgery include: infection, bleeding, seroma, hematoma, wound healing problems, abnormal scarring ( hypertrophic or keloid), loss of sensation, inability to breast-feed, breast asymmetry, necrosis of tissue or skin, unsatisfactory cosmetic results, unpredictability of exact cup size postoperatively, recurrence of the breast hypertrophy, and the potential for further surgery. other risks related to surgery in general include deep venous thrombosis (clots), pulmonary embolism, pneumonia and even death.
Fortunately, the vast majority of patients who undergo this procedure by well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons and board certified anesthesiologists do very well and complications tend to be relatively minor and treatable. The severe complications are rare.
 
  When the time is right, seek consultation with well-trained/experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work 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.
