So, who's a good candidate for a breast reduction procedure?
The answer might surprise you—a breast reduction candidate is anyone in good health who wants higher and smaller breasts.
Whether you're 18 or 80, if you want your breasts lifted and smaller, a breast reduction could be the answer.
A Lasting Solution
If it seems like you’ve tried everything to change the shape and size of your breasts without success, you may be a good candidate for breast reduction.
Weight loss or gain doesn’t always have the desired effect, and that's when surgical intervention may be considered as an option.
Do I have to be a certain age to get a breast reduction?
Breast size can cause various discomforts and difficulty finding clothes, and luckily, a breast reduction isn’t age-restricted.
From back and shoulder pain to bra straps digging into your shoulders, the physical strain of large breasts affects women across different age groups.
Breast reduction surgery can provide relief, making it a good option for those uncomfortable with their breast size, regardless of age—because bigger isn’t always better.

Relief from Pain
Back pain, especially in the upper back, is a common complaint among those with large, heavy breasts.
By removing breast tissue and excess skin, a breast reduction can significantly alleviate this pain.
Which means women not only feel more confident in the way they look, they’re also more comfortable in their day-to-day lives.
Improved Posture and Confidence
Posture matters and large breasts can affect it. After a breast reduction, many women report a positive change in their posture.
No longer trying to minimize their chest, they feel confident that their upper body now harmonizes with the rest of their physique.
Clothes That Fit
One of the perks of breast reduction is the ability to find clothes that fit comfortably.
We hear over and over in the Bustmob Community women are thrilled to make frustrating hours spent in fitting rooms a thing of the past.
For so many women, the positive impact on their physical comfort and self-esteem is well worth it.
Breastfeeding Considerations
If breastfeeding is important to you, be sure to ask your surgeon about the potential impacts on future breastfeeding.
While it’s a small risk, there is still a risk that the surgery may affect your ability to breastfeed.
But luckily, many young women undergo the procedure, are thrilled with the results, and later go on to successfully breastfeed.
