I am competitive athlete in many sports and my breasts are a real hindrence. They're a large C, nearly a D and they often get in the way. I discovered sports bras too late so after years of high impact, they're already very saggy (I'm 21) and hang outwards, sort of. I don't have much of a waist, a short torso and have fairly narrow hips so it's quite disproportionate to my body. Would it be possible to have them reduced to an A cup? I feel like I wouldn't have to worry about them nearly as much.

Answer: Breast Reduction to A-Cup for Athlete
Judging by your photos, you look like a good candidate for a breast reduction procedure. When you go for your in-person consultation, your doctor can help you decide ultimately what reduced cup size makes sense for you in terms of your anatomy and your wishes. Always visit a board-certified plastic surgeon for your procedure consultation, and you may want to look into the short-scar breast reduction technique, which is also called the lollipop incision. This not only reduces scarring when compared to other breast reduction methods but it also usually reduces recovery time, which could be very beneficial for you as a professional athlete. You could be back up and running in a shorter amount of time with the lollipop technique. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, and good luck!

Answer: Breast Reduction for Athlete
Although there are limitations on how small it is possible to make a breast and still retain adequate shape and sensation, it should be possible to significantly reduce the size of your breasts. You should be aware that you would be unlikely to be able to breast feed after breast reduction surgery. You should seek a consultation with a plastic surgeon in your area certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to discuss your individual case and goals. Good luck to you.
