I'm a 5'5 woman, about 200lb, and I wear a 38HH bra. My breasts are very large + heavy, causing my back, shoulders, and shoulder blades to hurt to the point I become unable to work out. Is it an option to have my breasts reduced prior to weight loss? (Target weight of 140).

Answer: Can I get a breast reduction before weight loss? My breasts make it impossible to work out without immense pain. Thank you for the question.Congratulations on your decision to proceed with breast reduction surgery; it is one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform.Although the breast reduction surgery may help you at this point, if you are contemplating the weight loss then it would be in your best interest to have the breast surgery after you have reached your long-term stable weight (If possible). This will improve your chances of achieving your goals and minimize the chances that revisionary breast surgery (to treat “sagging” for example) will be necessary afterwards. Having said that, there are occasional patients who (despite best efforts) are not able to achieve their exercise goals secondary to neck/back pain exasperated by larger breasts. These patients may benefit from breast reduction surgery prior to their weight loss with the understanding that additional surgery may be necessary once they have reached a long-term stable weight.You may find the attached link, dedicated to breast reduction surgery concerns, helpful to you as you learn more.Best wishes.
