Dear gailann:  As this is a breast cancer forum, our expertise is limited to this topic.  You might check with your plastic surgeon to get the best advise.

Try going to Sisterstreet.com or breasthealthonline.com  Both have very active breast reduction forums. Breast Health Online even has a plastic surgeon forum where an experienced plastic surgeon will respond within a day (usually). Good luck!
