Breast reduction reasons may vary from patient to patient, but there are some general criteria for breast reduction that women need to fulfill to get qualified for the surgery. Breast reduction criteria may include the following:

• having realistic expectations;
• being a non-smoker;
• being physically healthy;
• having large and heavy breasts;
• having health problems caused by large and heavy breasts;
• experiencing daily limitations caused by breasts size, e.g. physical activity limitations, problems with clothes or bra fitting;
• having chronic skin irritation beneath the crease of the breasts;
• having a stable weight, healthy BMI.

Women who think they may be good candidates for breast reduction should visit a plastic surgeon or a GP to check whether they can get qualified for the surgery.
