Are there any surgeons that can do a tuberous breast correction on someone with EDS?

Question

I’m a 21 year old woman and I have tuberous breasts. I was so excited to get my breast augmentation and I felt like i found the perfect doctor until I mentioned to him that i had EDS .I have hEDS, and it’s very mild. I experienced shoulder dislocations in my right shoulder due to getting into a fight with my sister and since then it’s been more lax and so I got a bankart repair and it healed well. Due to me disclosing i had hEDS, he decided not to do the surgery. Is there anyone else that could?

I have done breast surgery on 2 patients with EDS.  I would need more information to give a more accurate answer.

Thank you for posting your question here!My answer will be based on the limited information provided and is no substitute for an in person consult with your surgeon.EDS is not an absolute contra indication for surgery especially if it is mild that being said it does come with an additional risk for potential complications due to the tissue being fragile , as long asyou are aware of those potential complications and are willing to take the risk and your surgeon is willing to conduct the surgery then you should be able to proceed.I hope this helps, best of luck!
