Hi, I'm 66. My bra size is 32GGG or 32H. My mid back and spine are constantly in pain. At the age of 9, I had surgery to remove a rock sized fibroid from my breast & three subsequent surgeries to remove large fibroids and, with the development of Mammography they stopped operating. I have always been athletic and now do yoga and walk but no amount of stretching and relaxation is making this pain abate. Would I be at high risk for breast reduction. Would I heal properly at my age?

Answer: Breast reduction Breast reduction may well be if some benefit although it sounds like there may be other things that are contributing to your back pain. But if your breasts are quite large a breast reduction is a reasonable starting point.

Answer: Breast reduction Dear GGee3, 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.
