Hello
Thanks for asking a question at HCM
I understand your concern and I will be glad to answer it for you.
Yes, breat reduction can reduce the weight bearing to certain extent. I can say not significant reduction in pain, but can help.
Breast reduction will not stop the ongoing degeneration though. You need to be treated for it seperately. Please consult orthopedicean for further followup.
Hope this helps!
Best Regards
Dr Chaithanya
