Answer: Meeting with a PS would be next Hi Amarie3711, Your breast sound larger-than most for your frame, and you have symptoms including back/neck pain requiring trips to the PCP and chiropractor. When you meet with a plastic surgeon, it would be helpful to bring copies of your PCP and chiropractor notes--the notes help to support the long standing nature of the problem. Your plastic surgeon will evaluate you, through discussion and physical exam, and make an estimate about how much tissue can be removed. All of this information together goes to your insurance, and they will make the determination about whether they will pay for breast reduction or not. Being prepared, especially from the documentation perspective prior to your surgeon consult, can be very helpful. If your insurance declines, most plastic surgeons perform breast reduction on an out-of-pocket basis as well. Hope this helps!

Answer: Breast reduction Dear Amarie3711, breast reduction is best suited for women who wish to decrease the size of their breasts. While there are different techniques used to perform this surgery, I prefer the vertical incision (lollipop pattern) breast reduction technique instead of the anchor scar pattern, which reduces more noticeable scarring than usual. I also use a SAFE liposuction technique to reduce additional fat around the stubborn axilla area and bra line. This way, my patients are achieving beautiful results with minimal incisions which reduces downtime and delivers an overall better breast shape long term.If you are considering breast reduction surgery, you should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and make sure your surgeon understands your goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
