A: Breast Reduction Has Greater Effect On Upper Back/Neck Pain

Breast reduction surgery typically benefits pain in the upper and mid-thoracic back more than the lower back. However, I have seen patients who demostrated significant improvement in the lower back pain on occasion following their breast reductions.

Is There Such Thing As a Non-invasive Minor Breast Reduction For Asymmetry? I am having difficulty finding a good fitting bra. My band size is 40. One breast fits nicely in a D cup while the other spills out. I go up to a DD cup and then I have one breast that fits nicely and the other has gaps. I was wondering if there is a non-invasive procedure that could reduce the size of the DD breast down to a D so that I can find a bra that actually fits, something like breast liposuction?

A: Breast Liposuction Is Not Noninvasive

Liposuction is not a nonivasive procedure, although it certainly is less invasive than a reduction mammoplsty. It sounds as if you may be a candidate for liposuction to correct your asymmetry. Significant liposuction of the breasts usually leads to a good bit of sagging, but that may not be a problem in your situation.

A: Timing Of Breast Reduction

It sounds as if you are a candidate for a breasr reduction surgery since you are currently wearing a 34O bra and are having back pain. You should have a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can discuss your options with you and can communicate with your insurance carrier.
