So, my mom wants to undergo breast reduction surgery, but I have my doubts. She's 56 years old and weighs around 120 kgs. She has asthma, and hypertension. Her plastic surgeon is known, and hasn't been known to have any deaths so far, but I can't trust them completely. We were asked to pulmonologist (I think that's what they're called?) and he said there's a moderate risk, but there's nothing stopping her from getting it. What do you think?

Answer: Risk of death The risk of dying from a breast reduction is very low. The surgeon and anesthesiologist will review each patient's medical history to determine if they are a good candidate for surgery. Being at or close to your ideal weight, in general good health with any medical conditions being well controlled is best. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your mom and if she is agreeable, with her surgeon.
