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: Breast Reduction Based on your photos, you are a good candidate for breast reduction surgery. This surgery will help to reshape your breast and you will be able to move comfortably as your proporion will improve. To start the process, you should contact a Board Certified Surgeon. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Breast reduction for a 30G/H? (Photo) None of us can predict what decisions insurance companies will make regarding coverage for BR surgery or what documentation will sway their decision. BRs which are medically necessary (i.e. you suffer back, shoulder, and neck "pain" with DOCUMENTED medical attention over a period of a YEAR) are typically covered by medical insurance. If not, your insurance company may try to deny you based upon a lot of things such as weight, lack of enough tissue that should be removed, lack of symptoms, and lack of previous medical management.

Answer: The Bellesoma Method Thank you for you question and photos, The Bellesoma Method is a current technique to lift and/or reduce breasts without using implants or the ugly vertical scars. The incisions are hidden around the areola and in the inframammary crease. The vertical incision has been completely eliminated. The areola incision heals almost invisibly due to the fact that there is hardly any tension on the closure. With this particular technique, ducts are preserved along with nerve supply maintaining nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed. Because the breast is reshaped internally and is secured to your chest muscles, upper pole fullness is possible without an implant. Attached is a patient who underwent The Bellesoma Method. Please note that her tissue was used to create upper pole fullness and cleavage without any foreign materials (mesh, implants, etc). Unfortunately, we do not accept insurance for breast reductions. Dr. Horndeski does not remove enough breast tissue to meet insurance criteria. Instead, he utilizes the breast tissue to reshape the breast. It is a proprietary technique that only surgeons that have been trained by me can perform. I hope this helps. Best wishes and kind regards, Dr. Gary Horndeski

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
