How Does the Breast Reduction Surgery Differ for Low Density Vs. High Density Breasts?
jazzyladyFeb 18, 2013
I am 45yo with sagging, 40E breasts which cause neck pain, shoulder pain, and headaches. My mammogram tech always tells me I have the best breasts for mammos cause they are very low density. I have lost weight recently, but my breast seemed to have grown! I am still ~30lbs overweight at 5'8", and my PS believes reduction will help me be more active. Is the surgery "easier" depending on density? Is it quicker? I was told expect 4hrs, which is kind of scaring me, anesthesia-wise. Thank you
