I have always been large breasted and have always wanted a reduction. In the past 2 years, I have given birth to two children and breastfed. My youngest is now a year old and my breast have not returned to "normal" size. I am still wearing my maternity, size F bras. My back and neck hurt all day long. As I said earlier, I have always been large breasted. Will insurance allow me to be a size D, or must you go really small? Am I a good candidate for insurance to cover my breast reduction? I am 33 years old, 5'7", and 165 lbs.
Most of the plans I have worked with will allow a reduction if we are anticipating removing over 500 grams of tissue. For reference, a can of soda is about 350 grams.
The only way to tell is have your PS call your INS company and check your benefits. At my Houston practice, I perform breast reduction through a short lollipop-shaped scar, instead of the older anchor-technique. Some photos at:
