Im 15 and Im a DD34 I Have Really Bad Nerve Damage Can I Get a Breast Reduction?

I've tried losing weight and have been eating heathly i just cant seem to lose that much weight with the extra weight on my chest. I have to go to physical therapy because of the damage caused by my breasts. I've done my reasearch but can i even do the sugery?
A: Breasts may increase in size in young women after reduction

Hi, I just want to first address your comment "I have really bad nerve damage" -  I am assuming you are referring to back or neck pain caused by hunching over from large breasts. Actual "damage" should be looked at by a neurologist, who will usually recommend reduction if they feel that is a contributing factor.

More relevant is the question, should 15 year olds have reduction? Sometimes you are not done growing and if you have a reduction your breasts will increase in size after surgery. Generally, if your size has been stable for over a year you are ok to proceed with the surgery. Note that some insurance companies will not approve it for patients this age.

A quick comment on the liposuction based breast reduction or "scarless" reduction - this is great for a still perky, but fatty breasts. If your breasts are very very dense it won't work well.

Good luck to you- I don't know many 15 year olds requiring physical therapy and I look forward to you receiving some help that can improve your situation.

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 and Insurance Coverage

It is possible that your health insurance will cover some the cost of your breast reduction surgery but you will have to check with your insurance carrier to see if it’s a covered benefit. Next, search for a qualified plastic surgeon who is a participating provider. Most likely you will need to obtain a pre-authorization from your insurance carrier prior to your surgery. Each insurance carrier will have different set of criteria and documentation before authorizing a breast reduction procedure. Your plastic surgeon’s office will help you with the process of obtaining the pre-authorization in order to proceed with the surgery.

Insurance Appeal- How Do I Ensure My Reduction Is Covered?

My insurance denied my breast reduction because my surgeon did not submit a specific number of grams to be removed. After examining me, she said she could remove the amt they suggested. They submitted an appeal, but my surgery date is fast approaching. I called my insurance co. and they tell me that all the criteria was previously met except the amt of tissue and because of that it is still in appeal. Is it safe to assume that the procedure will be covered if she removes the recommended amt?
A: Breast Reduction-Insurance Appeal

I would recommend that you not have your surgery unless you get the approval, once the surgery is done it is much harder and you may end up having to pay out of pocket. If you have your insurance through employment, see if your HR department can help you expedite the process so you can keep your surgery date. Also, you should call them everyday, get the name of a contact person you can speak to each time who may help you! Good luck.
