Around 2.5 hrs: A lot of how long a breast reduction takes depend upon how big the breasts are. The average is about 2.5 hours.

Question 3

what will i go through if i decide to get a breast reduction?

Accepted Answer

First, see a : Plastic surgeon.  They will check you and discuss options.  The operation takes 2-3 hours.  Recovery is typically about 2 weeks.  There is mild to moderate discomfort easily treated with meds.  The best thing it's the dramatic decrease in pain of your neck, back and shoulders.

Question 4

is it ok to get a breast reduction from a 32 b cup to a 32 aa cup?

Accepted Answer

I doubt it: It seems like what you are asking for is a simple mastectomy, which is very rarely done for cosmetic reasons. Also, cup sizes are non-reproducible, so we never guarantee a specific cup size after reduction or augmentation. Why would you want to reduce a "normal" sized breast to something almost non-existent?

Question 5

i'm 4'11 and have a 34f bra size. is it necessary to get a breast reduction?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The decision to have breast reduction depends on the symptoms you are having as a result of large breasts in combination with your desire to reduce the size of your breasts. Your plastic surgeon can evaluate your goals and discuss surgical options with you.

Accepted Answer

Depends: It would depend on your location and the availability of plastic surgery at your local hospital.

Question 7

is it considered unhealthy to get a breast reduction/ lift now if i want to have children in a few years?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: There is nothing bad about wanting to get plastic surgery. However, pregnancy will change ur body significantly. It would be wise to wait until after. You should, however, discuss  this during consultation with plastic surgeon.

Question 9

is it okay to get second opinion from another doctor whether it is okay to get a breast reduction?

Accepted Answer

Sure.  Why not?: Breast reduction is performed for both medical (back pain etc from gigantomastia) to aesthetic reasons.  You should get as many evaluations as it takes to make you feel secure (or not) that you are doing the right surgery (either reduction mastopexy with or without augmentation) or liposcupting) with the right doc for the right reason at this time in your life.
