Hi I'm 18 years old and a 32DDD ..well slightly larger now, going in for a new bra fitting tomorrow.I've discussed a reduction with my parents; we were hoping to get some doctors opinions. Hoping to be a C.. I deal with a lot of pain in my shoulders, neck and back. Physical activity like running is difficult; it's definitely psychologically frustrating as well. Everyday a have significant indentations from my bra straps as well..I feel like its negatively impacting my life..
It sounds like you have all of the classic symptoms of a young lady with breasts that are too big. A breast reduction could very well give you a new lease on life. I would suggest a complete consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over your situation. Most breast reduction patients are so happy they did the procedure and all most all say they would do it all over again.

I am currently a 32G up from a 32F pre-pregnancy. I find myself with extreme upper back pain at night when I sleep. My bras are very uncomfortable. I am 5'4 130 pounds pre-pregnancy (currently 151 at 24 weeks pregnant). I am wanting to see if you think I might qualify for insurance approve breast reduction. I find my self having to get massages every month to 2 weeks just to maintain.
The most important part of getting qualified for breast reduction surgery is having a history of evaluation and treatment for your symptoms of enlarged breasts. Almost all insurance companies will require documentation to prove you have the expected symptoms of large breasts. Insurance companies want to make sure they are not paying for a cosmetic procedure; they want to improve your symptoms and ability to function.
After you have established a record of treatment for your enlarged breasts you should have a consultation with a plastic surgeon that can then preauthorize you for the procedure. Each insurance company will have different criteria so it is helpful for you to discuss this with your company as well.
