I'm a J Cup with Constant Neck Shoulder Pain. How Can I Get Insurance to Pay Some?

little about me I'm 5ft 7in 175lbs mother of 2. I have always had large breasts making sports horse ridding everything even cook standing painful to neck and upper back frequent migraines too. Well after 2 kids I'm now at a h-j cup size and can't find a 36 h or j bra and I'm so frustrated. I'm working on getting down to a ideal weight for me 150 then considering reduction. How can I get insurance to pay or help pay for this surgery? Also will they do a lift when they reduce or is the separate?

A: Breast reduction coverage

From the information that you provided it appears that you would greatly benefit from a breast reduction. This may very well be covered by your insurance company. However, you first need to make sure that it is a covered benefit as several do make exclusions for coverage. The second is to find the list of the criteria for coverage which usually includes conservative therapy such as physical therapy (which as expected, is never a long term solution).

You need to see a board certified plastic surgeon who can examine you and make the appropriate recommendations. If a reduction is recommended, the his/her office can seek to obtain authorization for you and find out that particular insurance company's criteria for coverage.

I Am of Mixed Race 38ddd What Kind of Scaring Can I Expect?

Mixed race (black/white) used to be 185lbs,5ft 7in.Suffering from extreme back pain.Am now considering breast reduction after losing 10kl(about 20lbs)to help relieve back pain.

A: Mixed race woman concerned about scarring after breast reduction surgery

It sounds like you would be an excellent candidate for breast reduction surgery. Meticulous closure of your incisions and careful postoperative care including scar creams and/or silicone sheeting can help to lower your risk for thicker forming scars. Although darker complected individuals are at an increased risk for hypertrophic and hyperpigmented scars (and keloids), in reality most do very well after breast reduction surgery - in my experience. You own personal history with scarring can be somewhat predictive for your results; less accurate is a family history.

A: Painful mass of breast following breast reduction surgery.

What you are describing may very well be an area of fat necrosis but it also could even represent a larger cyst as a manifestation of fibrocystic disease. Regardless, you should return to your plastic surgeon who can then assess this area and provide you with some recommendations.
