I certainly understand that only very general information can be generated without actual examination.Within that understood limitation:I have been told that my breasts are too large to be reduced by any technique that preserves nipple sensation and/or lactation ability. Have there been any large advances in the three years since I was last comprehensively examined.??I am 30, no new growth for ten years. no physical problems at all. no back problems, shoulder problems, posture is erect and correct. This is purely aesthetic. dress size 7, very petite small frame, 5 feet, 2 inches. a little underweight but still in normal range.daily exercise since teen years has resulted in muscular abdominal area and no extra fat. superior BMI. No pregnancies.My underbust/overbust difference is 13 inches. I have always used custom fitted bras. Using the US measurement system, I think I would be a 34M or a 36 M cup, although there are no sizes on my bras because they are made just for me by a professional fitter. All my dresses and blouses are custom made.Without a bra, my breasts are more ball shaped than teardrop shaped, and hang well past my navel. I always wear a bra, even at night. Exercise, low weight and the specially made bras since childhood have spared me much of the problems associated with this size.I have become expert in hiding this in public, and in winter coats make the condition invisable. I dress very very conservatively, and really don't have that much concern about my figure.I have the biggest breasts on the smallest frame of anyone I have ever known or seen. It would be the greatest delight in life to be rid of them. It is living in a cartoon for me. For the past two years, I have had to walk with crutches because of a spinal injury. This has increased my motiviation for a reduction. I am not willing to lose nipple feeling, though.So the basic question I have is: Has anything changed in the past few years that would merit another examination?

Answer: Breast reduction and ability to breast feed
There are no charitable organizations that are going to pay for your surgery however you can go to a county hospital that has a residency training program and have a very reduced rate for breast reduction and plastic surgery.
I'm a little unclear as to your question. A stroke is a development of a blood clot in the brain. Some types of surgery increase the risk of stroke (e.g. carotid endarterectomy), but most operations do not. The type of blood clot we worry about after surgery is called a deep-vein thrombosis, or...
Breast reduction surgery often requires the placement of hundreds of buried stitches in order to align the tissues to achieve smooth contours. These sutures will slowly dissolve over time as they are being broken down by the body's immune system. Sometimes the body will "reject" the...
