I'm wanting an honest opinion from a professional. I'm 18 years old. I'm 5'7 308 lbs. I have a size 40K breast. My BMI is 48.4, is this too high to have the surgery or putting me at risk if I do have it?

Answer: BMI and Surgery Given how young you are I suspect you would tolerate the surgery very well. It is best to meet with a PS and he/she can then give you the best idea of what to expect.

Answer: Better Consult Your Surgeon Thank you for your question. Breast reduction is perfect for people who are experiencing difficulties because of the weight of their large breasts, as I’m sure you’re experiencing. While weight loss is a prerequisite for many cosmetic surgeries like liposuction and tummy tucks, there are studies that show that people with higher BMI don’t necessarily have a higher risk for complications when it comes to breast reduction (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18626352). Plus, reducing the size of your breasts might even motivate you to lose weight.
