Do you have an age limit to perform breast reduction surgery?

Reduction mammaplasty or breast reduction surgery is the removal of excess skin, tissues, and fat from the breasts. This surgery could give the perfect shape that one desired for years. Usually, reduction mammaplasty is required in large breasts that cause physical discomfort or feel unattractive.

Reasons for options for reduction mammaplasty 

Usually, breast reduction surgery is performed for women with large busts and to solve certain other issues related to it. 
  • Restricted activities 
  • Nerve pain 
  • Skin irritation or rashes under the breasts 
  • Severe pain in neck, back, and shoulders that would require medications 
  • Poor self-image 
  • Problem with cloth fitting 
Breast reduction surgery will not be suggested for women who are planning for a baby and weight loss. It is a challenge to perform breast reduction surgery for women under specific issues such as smoking, obesity, heart problems, and diabetes. 

Age limit and breast reduction surgery

Normally, the breast reduction surgery could be performed at any age after puberty only if the breast enlargement is causing an issue. It is only after puberty, or after crossing the teen years, the complete bust development would happen. However, the surgery will be modified to suit each patient. The modification is performed based on certain factors such as the age of the patient, the size, and the descent of the breast. 

Certain factors like childbirth or ongoing weight loss will affect the outcome of the surgery; hence it is recommended not to perform surgery while under this condition. Surgery could be performed after finishing with pregnancy and breastfeeding and also after gaining a stable weight. 

Post breast reduction surgery 

A successful breast reduction surgery would help relieve pain in the upper back, neck, and shoulders. It would also help increase the ability to participate in physical activities and achieve a better self-image. It will take months to see the final results. Physical activities need to be limited for about 3 weeks as the breasts would require enough time to heal. The doctors would recommend underwire bras after a month. As long as the patient maintains a healthy lifestyle and a steady weight, the results for breast reduction surgery will be long-standing.
