What is the criterion to be met for breast reduction surgery to be covered by Cigna? I have been seeing a chiropractor for a year with little to no improvement in my back and shoulder pain. The grooves in my shoulders from my bra are turning into open wounds and I have open sores underneath my breasts due to chaffing. I am size 40G (40DDDD) and my BMI is 36.
I am 45yo with sagging, 40E breasts which cause neck pain, shoulder pain, and headaches. My mammogram tech always tells me I have the best breasts for mammos cause they are very low density. I have lost weight recently, but my breast seemed to have grown! I am still ~30lbs overweight at 5'8, and my PS believes reduction will help me be more active. Is the surgery easier depending on density? Is it quicker? I was told expect 4hrs, which is kind of scaring me, anesthesia-wise. Thank you
What should I do? My shoulders roll forward and taking my bra off hurts and feels relieving at the same time because of all the weight. Aside from pain, i have a pretty nice figure but my boobs make it hard to find form fitting things and its hard to find a proper suit for support.
Back, neck, and shoulder pain plaques me. 50+ years old and desire smaller breast than 42H. Will HMO pay for reduction in this case? Does reduction automatically lift breast?
I'm 20 years old and over the past 2 years, my breasts have been going through a major growth spurt. 2 years ago, my bra size was 32G, but now I'm not even sure what size they are. My breasts have become extremely heavy, which has been causing me to have severe back and shoulder pain. I can't find any bras that fit to help support them. I haven't been putting on weight on the rest of my body, so I'm not sure why they are growing so much. Should I wait till they stop before I get a reduction?
I would like my procedure to be covered by insurance. I have BCBS of Michigan and I am 23 years old. I have a size 34 G chest. I have had 6+ months of Physical therapy, it didnt help. I hav gone to a chiropractor, I've taken rash creams for my rashes. I have tried losing weight, the weight wouldn't leave my chest. I have back,neck,and shoulder pain from my chest. I can't breath with my large chest in bed, I get pinched nerves, indents in shoulders. Do I have a good case?
20 years old with D+ cups since the 8th grade, been a 32DDD since I stopped growing a few years ago. 115-120 lbs and 53. I have back pain, shoulder pain, & moderate to severe migraines attributed to shoulder pain. I haven't talk to a doctor (not sure who to talk to) but I am short with a 27 waist so uncomfortabley disproportionate and I experience pain daily. Am I a good candidate? How should I proceed? I am nervous about the process overall
After having kids I was a 36H. Got my BMI down to under 30 as suggested by my doctor to prepare for breast reduction, I'm now 163 lbs and 36G. I think I'm ready for pre-op but now having thoughts on how much to have removed. I've been a C cup or bigger since 12 yrs old. Wondering about how many grams should be removed to alleviate back pain, shoulder pain and headaches without going too small and not feeling like myself after surgery. My surgeon has not been too helpful at size estimates.
I am 110-115 pounds and a lot of the weight is in my breasts since I wear a 34-36D/DD. My back and shoulder pain is really bad. I also have really bad self astern because of them. I dont feel comfortable in a lot of clothing or bathing suits. I am wondering if a breast reduction is ideal. I would like to remove enough to be about a 34/36 B
