I am getting surgery at the end of the month to fix asymmetry. The plan is to reduce the size of 1 of my breasts to match the other + lift to both breasts. At time of surgery Both my breasts will be swollen due to pre menstruation.They are much bigger during this time. Will it cause the doctor to reduce my breast to the size of the other swollen breast? I'm afraid it will affect my results and they will look uneven when the swelling reduces after menstruation. They do change drastically in size.

Answer: Breast reduction Dear agreengirl, 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: Surgery Please discuss this with your surgeon. If need, change the date of your procedure so that you are not swollen. For most women, it does not matter.
