Answer: Breast reduction Dear Chinadoll925, breast reduction should have no negative effect on your breast reduction. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Will I be okay during my reduction Bc I have a hiatal hernia; will that affected during surgery? You should not eat or drink 8 hours before surgery. Reflux is not common when under general anesthesia, but can add to the possible complications in the intraoperative period. Discuss this with your PS and anesthesiologist.
