My boyfriend is freaking me out.
Im getting a breast reduction for back pain and he says I will greatly increase risk of breast cancer because of the trauma of surgery.
Is he right ?

No he is not correct.
IMO He just wants you to not have the surgery by scaring you like that.
When they take out the breast tissue they should take it for a biopsy to make sure you have healthy breast tissue (that is what my doctor did, you could always ask your doctor if he will do that).
Good luck on your surgery!

Breast surgery cannot cause cancer but in most of our bodies we have inert cancer cells which do not get activated and remain inert whole through our life but when we undergo a surgery and if such a cell has been tampered during that operation then the inert cancer cell will spring upto life and start growing just same as in the case of HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) given to pre- menopause women. Hence unless it is absolutely warranted it is not advisable to go in for a breast surgery since breast in an orgarn where many inert cancer cell are available and can spring up anytime. All the best.

There is no relation between breast surgery and the development of breast cancer.

I think the risk of cancer is more associated with breast implants not reduction.
