I'm 24 years old cancer patient, I have a 34DDD cup breast and I was wondering about breast reduction pills. I am not able to have the surgery do to the past pulmonary embolism.And is there any other options?

Answer: What can I do to get smaller breast? Does the pills work? There are no pills that make the breast smaller.You can make a breast smaller in order of increasing effectiveness by:weight loss,liposuction, orbreast reduction.If you are healthy and recovered from your PE, you can probably still have surgery. The etiology of your PE needs to be considered and then appropriate precautions taken. (Was the PE caused by cancer?) Good luck.

Answer: What can I do to get smaller breast? Do pills work? Hi Angelina,Thanks for your question. At this time, there are no pills that I know that can decrease (or increase) breast size. Your surgical options for breast reduction would possibly include liposuction to remove the excess fat from around the breast gland, or an open breast reduction procedure where tissue is removed surgically through incisions on the breast. A consultation with a plastic surgeon in your area will help determine whether you are a candidate for one or both of these procedures. In the meantime, diet and exercise can help decrease the size of the breasts as well, and may make you a better surgical candidate. You may still be able to have this procedure after your past pulmonary embolism, but may need a blood thinner such as Lovenox, temporarily. Medical clearance with your primary care physician or oncologist is typically required as well. Hope this helps!Best wishes,-Erik Hoy, M.D.
