I'm 18, and I have been seriously considering a breast reduction for the past 2 years. I'm a 34D, and I'm 105 lbs. and 5'0. I've always been slightly self conscious about having large breasts for my figure, it's difficult to exercise, shopping for clothes is a hassle, and I get back pain. Usually when I hear about women getting a reduction, they have a much larger breast size than me! So I'm just wondering if a reduction would be feasible for me? I would like to go as small as I can.

Answer: Breast Reduction Candidate Candidates for #BreastReduction surgery are women who wish to have smaller #breasts to achieve a more proportional appearance or to alleviate physical discomfort. Breast reduction can correct symptoms from excessively #largeheavybreasts that may cause the inability to do certain exercises, or create back, shoulder and neck pain, poor posture, bra-strap shoulder indentations and chafing or rashes under the breasts. Women experiencing these discomforts may benefit from Breast Reduction, also called #ReductionMammoplasty. Furthermore, large breasts may interfere with normal daily activities or exercise and will be more comfortable when reduced. Women who feel that their excessive breast size decreases a sense of attractiveness and self-confidence, or results in unwanted attention are also candidates.

Answer: Breast reduction for 34D is possible Plastic surgery is a very personal decision and process - everyone has a different starting point and a very individualized goal. The same goes for breast reduction - although many women who undergo breast reduction may have a larger starting breast size, what matters is how your breasts fit your frame and lifestyle. It sounds like your breasts have created a number of issues for you in terms of comfort and confidence, which may make you an excellent candidate for a procedure to make your breasts a more proportional and manageable size.Talk to a few board-certified plastic surgeons to address your concerns, particularly about your desired end result. You may also want to ask their thoughts on how your results will be affected as you get older or if your weight changes, and what will happen if you want to get pregnant or breastfeed in the future.Hope this is helpful, and best of luck on your journey.Dr. Lim

Answer: Is a 34D cup size too small for a Breast reduction? Thank you for the question. If your breasts are disproportionately large and cause physical and/or psychosocial problems, you will likely be a good candidate for breast reduction surgery, regardless of the specific breast cup size you currently wear. My best suggestion: select your plastic surgeon carefully. Make sure that he/she can demonstrate lots of examples of achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with. Then, communicate your goals carefully. In my practice, goal photographs are very helpful in this regard. Keep in mind that "as small as I can" may mean different things to different people.Patients considering breast reduction surgery should also consider the potential downsides (risks/complications) associated with the procedure as well. Poor scarring, for example may be associated with the procedure. Additional surgery may be necessary in the short or longer term for a multitude of reasons. I hope this, and the attached link, helps. Best wishes.
