Can I have a breast reduction if I have cerebral palsy hemiplegia left-sided? (Photo)

I don't see a contraindication to this operation because of your central nervous system issue. Obviously it would have to be approved by your neurologist but the functional improvements from a breast reduction should be well worth the operation.

Large breasts may not only interfere with your physical
ability to function in daily activities but can be emotionally burdensome as
well. From what you describe you are a candidate for a breast reduction. Breast
reduction surgery removes excess breast tissue and reshapes the contour of the
breasts so that they are smaller and perkier. It is possible to do a breast
reduction with a minimal scar technique and can also be done as a outpatient
procedure under twilight sedation. It's important to be sure expectations are
realistic and you have an understanding of the commitment needed for the
healing process. Make sure that you understand the nature of your surgery, the
recovery process, and that you feel comfortable and emotionally ready to make
these changes to your body. I suggest you make an appointment with a board
certified plastic surgeon who will examine you and go over your surgical
options in detail.

Thank you for the question and picture. Based on prescription commons sound like an excellent candidate for breast reduction surgery. I would suggest that you run your plan by your primary care physician;  assuming you are in good health, it is likely that he/she will agree.  Then seek consultation with a few board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with.  I hope this, and the attached link, helps. Best wishes.

Provided that you are otherwise in good enough health to tolerate the operation, your history of cerebral palsy itself should not keep you from having the procedure.  In fact, I have operated on several patients with cerebral palsy myself, and they have all done well.  It sounds like your breasts are disproportionately large and causing you significant problems.  This might compound your disability, and in my opinion, it could be even more the reason why the operation might benefit you.  I can see how it could alleviate a huge physical burden from you and make everyday mobility, let alone exercise, more possible.  I'm not sure exactly how the NHS handles the approval of the operation in the UK, but in the States it all starts with an evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon.  This typically involves a detailed history, physical exam complete with measurements of the breasts and an estimate of volume of breast tissue to be removed, and photographs of your breasts for documentation purposes.  All of this is forwarded in a package to the patient's insurance company, and a decision is rendered as to whether or not she meets their criteria to have the operation covered.  I assume there is a similar process over on that side of the pond, too.  So, it sounds to me as though you would make a good candidate for the procedure based upon the little information that you have provided here, and my best advice at this point is to pursue it with your primary doctor and get some consultations scheduled with plastic surgeons so that you can be evaluated for the procedure.  Best of luck!

Thank you for the question and if cleared by your internist or family MD then YES you would benefit from a breast reduction and can go ahead with the procedure.Dr. Corbin
