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 will definitely help alleviate some of your symptoms including the back pain, neck pain, and headaches. However, each insurance company and each policy has different criteria on what is considered medically necessary. I would check with your insurance carrier and your specific policy regarding what criteria will need to be met so that your breast reduction will be paid for by insurance. Once you have chose a board certified plastic surgeon, his/her office may also be able to assist you during this process.
And yes, a lift is a part of the breast reduction surgery. Good luck!
I am a lean, athletic, large breasted 5'8" woman with size 32H breasts. The density is level IV, per BI RADS. I would like to reduce them to a B. Aside from the obvious symptomatic problems I imagine a B since I just don't favor larger breasts. I envision a loose button-up shirt, baggy jeans, hanging out in my art cottage, in a mostly private setting. I am a bit of an introvert. Plus, I am a lesbian and more tomboyish. Does this pose special risk's due to density, like to nipples?
A breast reduction is definitely a good option for someone with large breasts; however, it is very difficult to predict cup sizes post-operatively. As you already probably know, bra sizes vary from manufacturer to manufacturer as well as according to your chest measurements -- for example a 34B is not the same as a 38B.
That said, there are considerations in how much you can reduce a breast. A breast reduction removes enough tissue to alleviate your symptoms (back pain, neck pain, etc), but leaves enough breast tissue to achieve an aesthetic and proportional breast and provide a good blood supply to the nipple. As one of the physicians has mentioned, a breast reduction with a free nipple graft is also an option; but would mean that you definitely lose all nipple sensation and not be able to breast feed.
I would recommend that you discuss your goals with a board certified plastic surgeon. He or she will then be better able to discuss your options with you. Good luck!.
I find it painful to exercise at a faster pace than a brisk walk but I know losing weight will reduce the size of my breasts. Is it better to wait for surgery until I lose weight? Will getting a breast reduction then losing weight cause even more reduction, and will it cause my perky new breasts to lose their shape?
While I understand that it is very difficult and even painful to exercise with 36J breasts, it is definitely better to be at or as close as possible to your goal weight prior to surgery. No one can predict how your breasts will change after weight loss; so if you had your surgery and then lost weight, you may find that you don't like the shape or size of your breasts. Also, being at your goal weight will make your surgery and recovery go more smoothly. I would recommend that you speak with a boar-certified plastic surgeon to discuss what would be best for you. Good luck!
