Question

Hello, thank you for your question. You may need a medical clearance, after that I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Dear Easygoing518877,
as long as you get a clearance from your plastic surgeon, you might be a candidate for a surgery. 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.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. 
After a detailed discussion with your neurosurgeon, your plastic surgeon should be able to offer you a breast reduction.  Clearance and approval would be needed from all of your physicians. 
Consult with your board certified plastic surgeon to review your options. I hope this helps. Best of luck!
