Is it possible to have a Breast Reduction for someone with Pectus Excavatum?

Question

I see lots of photos on the web for breast enlargments in patients with pectus excavatum, but I am looking for photos of women with reductions who have this condition?

John D. Smoot, MD · Answer

This is an unusual problem but there is no reason you can't have a reduction but it might expose your pectus excavatum more.  I don't have photos of this problem but if your breasts are so large you have neck and back pain this could be a very helpful procedure for you.  Without photos it is difficult to tell what your result might be.  I would visit with a board certified plastic surgeon who can help guide you through this decision.

It is certainly possible to have a breast reduction with pectus excavatum. Unfortunately, due to HIPPA restrictions we can not show you photos of our patients.
