Am I Silly Considering Reduction of Breasts at 62? Size 36J

Thank you for your post. Age is not a contraindication to surgery. Poor health is. If you are a healthy adult, and interested in a breast reduction or lift surgery, meet with a board certified plastic surgeon. He or she will assess you as a patient for any risks you might have. The biggest risks are heart disease, diabetes, smoking, high blood pressure, and previous history of deep venous thrombosis. If you are having back pain, neck pain, bra strap grooving, rashes under the breast fold, or just desire a breast lift, meet with a highly qualified surgeon.Best Wishes,Pablo Prichard, MD

Thanks for your question. Breast reduction surgery is safe and effective. It has been shown to greatly increase the quality of life for those suffering neck and back pain due to their heavy breasts.As long as you are fit and able to undergo a general anaesthetic, there is no reason why you couldn't undergo a breast reduction.Schedule an appointment with your friendly local plastic surgeon and see what they think - I'm sure you'll be glad you did.Good luck with it all.
