Every month in the two weeks before my period I suffer from very heavy tender breasts. They usually grow a size during this time and then reduce a size after my period. I'm 31 and size 32II (US size )/ 32GG(UK size). From the surgeons I've spoken to I'm under the impression that if I have a breast reduction the symptoms will decrease because there is less breast tissue to become tender and heavy. I'm hoping breast reduction surgery will reduce/ alleviate these symptoms?

Answer: Will a breast reduction help reduce cyclic hormonal breast pain? A BR will not reduce/alleviate cyclic hormonal breast pain. When estrogen levels increase and progesterone levels decrease, a woman's breasts may get slightly larger in size. If the opposite occurs(progesterone levels increase and estrogen levels decrease), the breasts become tender. There also appears to be a strong association between fibrocystic breasts and hormonal changes.

Answer: Breast Reduction Hello, and thank you for your question. (Keep in mind that an in-person consultation is necessary for the best advice.) Breasts fluctuate in size to hormone fluctuations and weight changes. This is because breasts consist of glandular tissue (which reacts to hormones) and fat (which reacts to weight changes). There are no guarantees that having breast surgery will have any effect on or prevent what you have described. If you decide to pursue surgery it’s very important that you find a surgeon whom you are comfortable with and trust and who evaluates you in-person and tailors an individualized treatment plan for you and your aesthetic goals. Best of luck!

Answer: Painful breasts We do not operate for pain. There is no guarantee that the pain you have now will not continue after a reduction. Most of the time when we operate for pain , the surgery is totally unsuccessful as you end up with more pain -- at least in the post op period and then one can never guarantee that your pain will go away.
