Who is NOT a candidate for breast reduction surgery?
You are probably not a candidate for breast reduction surgery if (1) you do not have large breasts (bra cup size D or larger); (2) you do not have pain or other physical symptoms from large breasts; or (3) you are choosing breast reduction surgery for cosmetic reasons(“for looks”). You may want to avoid breast reduction surgery if breast-feeding is very important to you. All women of childbearing age who are considering breast reduction surgery should be warned that breast-feeding may not be possible after surgery. Breast reduction surgery should be postponed if your breasts are still growing. Most surgeons recommend waiting until breast development is complete and prefer not to operate on girls in their early to mid-teens. (Exceptions may be made for girls experiencing a rare but very rapid and extreme form of breast growth called “virginal hypertrophy”.) If you are currently gaining or losing weight, you should consider delaying breast reduction until your weight has stabilized. Larg
