Hi, LoriSuzanne. At a 38H, you sound like an excellent candidate for a breast reduction -- I can only imagine that you have significant symptoms and discomfort as a result of your breast size. Since it has been 9 years since your apparently notable cardiac event, it would be important to follow up with your cardiologist to assess your heart's current function and state of health. The stents that you had placed hopefully improved your hearts vascular supply -- however, whether the stents are still patent or not would be important to know. Also, have you developed any new blockages? Did your heart heal/recover following the MI? etc.Fortunately, although a breast reduction is a moderately large surgery, it is not a particularly invasive surgery -- breast surgery is essentially a "skin surgery" or soft tissue surgery. The more problematic risks generally have to do with the local circulation to the tissues and nipple, as well as general healing of the incisions, rather than a systemic risk to the body.Best of luck to you should you decide to proceed with a breast reduction!
