Would I be a candidate for breast reduction? I have scoliosis, my breasts are heavy. (Photo)

Based on your photos, you are a good candidate for breast reduction surgery. This surgery will help to reshape your breast and you will be able to move comfortably as your proporion will improve. To start the process, you should contact a Board Certified Surgeon. I wish you all the best.

From your description it sounds like you are a good candidate for breast reduction. When a woman is experiencing pain and discomfort as a result of large breasts, she can absolutely consider a breast reduction surgery to alleviate the pain. Your next step should be to consult in person with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in breast reduction procedures. He or she will be able to examine your breasts and give you a better idea of what sort of results to expect from the surgery. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question and photo,              
The Bellesoma Method is a current technique to lift and/or reduce breasts without using implants or the ugly vertical scars.  The incisions are hidden around the areola and in the inframammary crease. The vertical incision has been completely eliminated. The areola incision heals almost invisibly due to the fact that there is hardly any tension on the closure. With this particular technique, ducts are preserved along with nerve supply maintaining nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed. Because the breast is reshaped internally and is secured to your chest muscles, upper pole fullness is possible without an implant. Attached is a patient who underwent The Bellesoma Method. Please note that her tissue was used to create upper pole fullness and cleavage without any foreign materials (mesh, implants, etc).  Unfortunately, we do not accept insurance for breast reductions.  Dr. Horndeski does not remove enough breast tissue to meet insurance criteria.  Instead, he utilizes the breast tissue to reshape the breast.  It is a proprietary technique that only surgeons that have been trained by me can perform. I hope this helps. 
Best wishes and kind regards, 
Dr. Gary Horndeski

Based on your picture it seems like you are a great candidate for a breast reduction, always see a board certified PS in person for a better evaluation, best of luck.

yes, looking at your picture I think you would be a great candidate for breast reduction.  Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon 

If you are otherwise healthy, yes you sound like a great candidate for breast reduction. I would recommend consulting with board certified plastic surgeons in your area.

Dear 91teubanks,It appears that you would be an excellent candidate for a breast reduction.  Seek consultation with an American Board of Plastic Surgery board certified plastic surgeon for an examination and options.  Many insurance plans will provide some amount of coverage if you meet the criteria.  Good luck!

If your breasts are heavy and bothersome, you are likely a candidate for a breast reduction. An in-person consultation would be required to assess the degree of breast volume to be removed and provide you with an understanding of the healing process as well as scar pattern. Best wishes. 

Thank you for the question and photo. Based on your description you may be an excellent candidate for breast reduction surgery.   However, much more information is needed to determine whether you should proceed with surgery; in my practice, I individualize the patient's suitability for breast reduction surgery based on a lot of information that is transmitted during the consultation process. For example, the degree of patient "concern" with current breast size and patient expectations are 2 of the many important considerations.
“Typical” patients who present for breast reduction surgery are women who have disproportionately large breasts, causing problems such as neck/back/shoulder discomfort, postural changes, bra strap grooving, skin irritation/rashes under the breasts, and/or difficulty with activities of daily living and/or exercise etc. There may be both physical as well as psychosocial “stress” caused by the disproportionately large breasts.
Reducing breast tissue mass and elevating the breasts on the chest wall tend to improve or alleviate many of the symptoms associated with the disproportionately large breasts.
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.
Then, I would suggest you visit a FEW surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done.
Then, it will be important that you communicate your goals clearly with your plastic surgeon and make sure that you have realistic expectations prior to proceeding with any type of surgery. In regards to breast size desired, also communicate carefully. In my practice the use of goal pictures are helpful in this regard; a discussion of cup size can be confusing and imprecise.   Therefore, I would not suggest that you communicate your goals and/or base your satisfaction with the outcome of surgery on achieving a specific cup size.  I also find that the use of pictures is more helpful than the words “natural” or "proportionate” or B cup" etc., which can mean different things to different people.
Many of my patients choose to have enough breast tissue removed to help alleviate symptoms while retaining enough breast tissue to remain proportionate to the remainder of  their torso.
I hope this helps.

Thnak you for your question and picture. Based on your image you are a good candidate for breast reduction. You should have a consult with a certified plastic surgeon for a better evaluaction,

All the best!!!
