I'm responding to this very old message of yours in hopes of finding responses from you and posts from others that are more current. I don't see a follow up from you, so I'll just say, I hope you are happy with the outcome of your procedure.

I fit into your category of breast reduction with pendulous breast. And I'm scheduled to have the surgery sometime in September 2025. I saw my plastic surgeon a week ago and since then I have been searching the net to familiarize myself with the process. And with that, I've been learning more about what questions to ask my doctor and his assistant. Wishing all of us the best. Carolyn

Hello. I am glad to respond, since I am a 75-year-old woman with pendulous breasts. I was excited to have the procedure. But then, I reconsidered, since I was not able to have answers to my questions.
The office staff were dressed in business suits. I had no idea who had nurse training.
Because I was asking questions with the "assistant," I was reported as concerned regarding the recovery.
I believe that the recovery is extensive. The surgeon did not think that I would qualify, since I was asking so many questions.
I had a concern that the M.D. The surgeon was performing this procedure on women who had conditions of obesity. I thought that was unfair to women who may need to make lifestyle changes with weight loss first before they proceed with invasive surgery for breast reduction.
Now, I like my body image even with pendulous breasts. I visited a bra fitting store and purchased new bras that were specifically designed for my size.
I am physically fit. I do not desire to have breast reduction any longer. I had a body-image problem.
I recommend seeking some therapy to make sure that your decision is not about self-esteem or body image. I like my body even with the pendulous breasts. My attitude has changed.
