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: 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.

Answer: Size for Breast Reduction Surgery If you are disproportionately large breasted and uncomfortable, then yes, you are likely a great candidate for a breast reduction. I have done many cases in your age group with similar size changes, and the women are so happy with the outcome.
