Would my BMI be suitable for a breast reduction?

Asked By:CC037 in Orlando, FL

Hi, I was wondering what the recommended BMI is for breast reduction. I saw a consultant in April and I was 5ft 1', weighed 212lbs and my BMI was 40.1. My consultant said I was a suitable candidate for breast reduction as long as I lose some weight. I now weigh 194lbs (lost 18lbs), my height is 5ft 2' and my BMI is 35.5. Would I be suitable for a breast reduction? thanks
