I'm 5'1", 18 years old, and 290 pounds. I have G cup breasts and they put a tremendous strain on my body. I developed breasts at a very young age, 6 years old, and they've grown rapidly since then. I have back, neck, shoulder, and chest pain from my breasts. It's very hard to exercise when my breasts are as large as they are. Is it possible I could have a breast reduction done while I'm overweight?
Answer: Reduce your weight before getting surgery. Your safety should be the priority of any qualified plastic surgeon and undergoing breast reduction at this point would pose an increased risk of serious complications. I understand that it's difficult to maintain an exercise program with overly large breasts, but you should consult with a physician to create a weight-reduction plan that safely helps you get down to a healthier weight.

Answer: Can I have a breast reduction while overweight? To obtain maximal results from the breast reduction and minimize risks of complications during and after surgery, it is best to achieve a BMI approximating 30. With a calculated BMI of 54.8, losing some 100 pounds would allow you to reach that BMI goal. Suggest you participate in a physician-supervised nutrition and exercise program to assist with the weight loss.After you have lost a significant amount of weight, a breast reduction performed by liposuction can reduce the size of the breast a moderate amount depending upon the amount of fat, but the procedure will not lift the breasts nor improve the skin.

The way you describe your breasts you will still need a breast reduction, but you will significantly decrease your risk of surgery, improve the shape of your breasts and decrease the chances of having a healing problems at a healthy weight. You will need to lose over a hundred pounds and you might think about seeing a bariatric surgeon or a professional nutritionist to come up with a plan.
