See details: You can lose weight by diet and exercise. If you can do this your will also see a reduction in the size of your breasts. our back pain is likely due to more than just the size of your breasts.

Take heart . . .: Losing weight can be difficult, but it is possible. Plastic surgeons must assess surgical risk and you certainly want to reduce your chances for complications. Look for ways to reduce caloric intake and increase your activity level with a goal of having breast reduction in the future.
