40 years old, 40 O bra size- Should I pursue breast reduction surgery now or are the risks greater for someone like me?

May 10, 2022
Asked By:shei2 in Dallas, Texas

I am a recently 40 year old that has been suffering from ridiculously large breasts my whole life. Having children made my issue much worse. I was 36 E or F before and I’m now wearing a 40 O because I cnt find anything bigger with a workable band. My BMI is 30 and not ideal. I suspect I have sleep apnea. Should I pursue surgery now or are the risks greater for someone like me that likely needs a lot taken out and has other issues? I’m considering weight loss surgeries or interventions as well.
