They cause me a lot of shoulder/back pain and I'm generally quite unhappy with how they make me look. Because of my shoulder and back pain, it has caused me to miss work on multiple occasions and I'm afraid that, with college coming up, it may get worse. Please give me any advice you have! would I qualify for affordable breast reduction surgery? Should I wait until I'm done with college? I'm planning on studying in the UK, is getting surgery there a better option? Please give me any advice!
I'm 19, currently a 30F/32E, depending on sizing. My breasts feel disproportionate to my stature at 5'2 and 115 lb. I have a lot of unexplained neck/shoulder/back pain and headaches. I feel like I look much smaller than is average for the procedure. Would I be a good candidate for a reduction? And would a physician generally be willing to take me on as a patient, or do I not really have enough tissue to be removed, assuming I wanted to go down to about 30C?
Hello! I'm a 5'7 142 lb 52 y/o peri-meno woman, I had a breast reduction at age 29. At the time, my breasts were a very heavy and pendular 36DD/DDD. I was reduced to a large C/small D. The Dr. apparently did largely a lift + a small reduction (more skin than tissue removal). And I was happy! Now, (after proper fittings) I wear a 32/34 F. And I'm back to shoulder pain, neck pain, etc. But I'm also amidst severe hot flashes, fighting meno weight, etc. Should I wait?
I would like my procedure to be covered by insurance. I have BCBS of Michigan and I am 23 years old. I have a size 34 G chest. I have had 6+ months of Physical therapy, it didnt help. I hav gone to a chiropractor, I've taken rash creams for my rashes. I have tried losing weight, the weight wouldn't leave my chest. I have back,neck,and shoulder pain from my chest. I can't breath with my large chest in bed, I get pinched nerves, indents in shoulders. Do I have a good case?
i have an average body type but my breasts make me look bigger than i really am and it has caused a lot of teasing in school and even around family (im the only one above a D cup), and ive become really self-conscious of myself. besides the emotional toll theyve caused, the physical is even worse. they are incredibly heavy to the point where i have constant shoulder and back pain. im worried that they will just keep growing. How long should i wait before a reduction is a possibility?
Currently I'm 45 (no kids, don't plan on any). Since a long time now dealing with neck/shoulder pain and feeling restricted in my breathing due to the weight of the breasts pressing on my ribs, I want to either have them completely gone (best option) or want them to be reduced to a tiny and flat size (No more than 34 A; currently I'm 34D/DD ). Please let me know which one is the best option, what would the procedure be, recovery times and costs? Please help, I need them gone.
I have a lot of back and shoulder pain. If I stand or sit up straight for too long I get a lot of back pain. I also feel extremely uncomfortable in bathing suits, finding bras, and just clothes in general. I feel really uncomfortable all the time both physically and emotionally.
What is the criterion to be met for breast reduction surgery to be covered by Cigna? I have been seeing a chiropractor for a year with little to no improvement in my back and shoulder pain. The grooves in my shoulders from my bra are turning into open wounds and I have open sores underneath my breasts due to chaffing. I am size 40G (40DDDD) and my BMI is 36.
I am 45yo with sagging, 40E breasts which cause neck pain, shoulder pain, and headaches. My mammogram tech always tells me I have the best breasts for mammos cause they are very low density. I have lost weight recently, but my breast seemed to have grown! I am still ~30lbs overweight at 5'8, and my PS believes reduction will help me be more active. Is the surgery easier depending on density? Is it quicker? I was told expect 4hrs, which is kind of scaring me, anesthesia-wise. Thank you
