I can't say that I have the sad story of growing up with large breast as this was not the case for me. My breast showed up at the age of 21during my 1st pregnancy. I went from a 34C and as of today I am now a 36K. After giving birth I went back to the doctor several times to to ask for something to help them return to their original size but nothing could be done. I have suffered severe back pain and diagnosed with a Degenerative Disc Disorder. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Answer: Breast reduction If anyone qualifies for breast reduction coverage under insurance, I would say that would be you. You should contact your insurance company to find out the steps necessary to get it covered. If you have an HMO you may need a referral to a plastic surgeon from your regular doctor.

Answer: What are the odds of getting my Aetna HMO plan to approve a much needed breast reduction? Thank you for the question. Based on your description and picture, you sound like you may be a good candidate for breast reduction surgery; of course, much more information is necessary to provide you with definitive advice

Answer: Can breast reduction get covered by insurance Thank you for your question and photos! Not every insurance will cover a breast reduction but it is worth calling your insurance company to see what your policy is. Once you get the information from your insurance I would then consult with a Plastic Surgeon of your choice. The surgeon would be able to give you a hands on assessment and let you know if he/she could meet insurance guidelines. If guidelines can be met the next step would be for your surgeon to get authorization for the surgery. Best of Luck!
