Answer: Breast reduction Dear Generous962386, breast reduction is best suited for women who wish to decrease the size of their breasts. While there are different techniques used to perform this surgery, I prefer the vertical incision (lollipop pattern) breast reduction technique instead of the anchor scar pattern, which reduces more noticeable scarring than usual. I also use a SAFE liposuction technique to reduce additional fat around the stubborn axilla area and bra line. This way, my patients are achieving beautiful results with minimal incisions which reduces downtime and delivers an overall better breast shape long term.If you are considering breast reduction surgery, you should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and make sure your surgeon understands your goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Big enough breasts for reduction? Thanks for your question! Given your height and breast size, I think it is likely that you would fit criteria for a breast reduction. However, different insurance companies are different when it comes to the particular criteria (including size of the breasts and other symptoms) for breast reduction surgery. I would encourage you to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon as well as find out more about your insurance company's policy.I hope this helps!Take care,Dr. Lisa
