Am I too overweight for a breast reduction?

November 17, 2015
Asked By:Dlphi71 in Hollis, NH

I am 44 years old I have had huge breasts since I was a teen. At 22 a saw a plastic surgeon and they said I needed to be 180 or less I am 5'10" and now am 270Lb. I have been trying for all these years to get there and I know it never happen. I just want them gone. I am tired os suffering with them. My bra size is 40 K. I know that the band size seems small for my weight but it never changes more than a size when I do loose weight. My cup only changes one.
