I have had large breasts for about 6 years now and I'm only 19. I feel that even though my breasts support themselves fairly well, I'm still seeing too much sagging for a woman my age. My neck is constantly sore and stiff and I can't stand or walk around for long periods of time without experiencing horrible upper back pain. My breasts have never looked THAT big to me, but I am now wondering if I would be a good candidate for surgery and if it is probable that my insurance would pay for it?

Answer: Large breasts Your breasts look normal to me. As breasts get larger you will have some relaxation and the breast will sit lower on the chest. Patients with large implants initially will have the breast high on the chest but even large implants eventually sag.

Answer: Breast reduction for a 30G/H? From all the symptoms and issues that you describe and the fact that your breasts are disproportionately large at a G/H, you seem to be a great candidate for a breast reduction and should benefit tremendously from the procedure. That being said, there is no way of knowing right now if your insurance plan will authorize surgery for you. Each plan has its own criteria that you must meet before they will authorize surgery. This can include removing at least a certain amount of tissue based on your height and weight as well as symptoms that are being experienced. Many will require that you undergo physical therapy but fail to experience improvements. Finally, some plans even make an exclusion for breast reduction.Obtain a consultation from a reputable board certified plastic surgeon and he/she can help you with the insurance issues as well.Good luck!Steven Turkeltaub, MD
