Looking to get a breast reduction, Hamilton Ontario, wondering if there is a maximum weight for this surgery? I've been trying to lose weight just incase, I'm waiting for my referral to be responded to. I'm starting to worry a bit as after having two kids I've gained weight that I'm having a hard time getting rid of. Thanks!
Answer: Weight loss Though there isn't a minimum or maximum weight requirement for this surgery, your general health will be considered to determine if you are a candidate. Another consideration is that some women will notice changes in their breasts with weight fluctuations. For that reason it is recommended that you are at a stable, healthy weight when considering reduction.

Answer: Breast Reduction and Weight Thank you for your question. Weight is not a reason not to have breast reduction surgery. But as your weight becomes very high, then the major risks are those associated with weight increases, including anesthesia issues and infection. With a very heavy weight, your overall complication rates are higher. If you are willing to accept those, then you can move forward with surgery.

Answer: Looking to get a breast reduction. Is there a maximum weight for this surgery? If you are planning to apply for health insurance coverage of the BR, your weight and other requirements such as you suffer back, shoulder, and neck "pain" with DOCUMENTED medical attention over a period of a YEAR, previous medical management, and enough tissue that should be removed will be considered by your medical insurance provider. Consult with a board certified PS who can evaluate your medical condition, discuss the pros and cons of the BR as it applies to you, determine the amount of tissue to be removed, and help you in completing the paperwork required by the insurance provider. If you current weight and height place you in a BMI category for approval of the surgery and you are in good health, your probability for coverage is more likely.
