My breast started growing at the age of 11 by the time I was 12 I was in a D I got sized maybe 4 years ago and they told me I was a 36DDD or a 34E but they have grown since then I have had back pain neck and shoulder but my doctor told my I need to do physical therapy before she will even consider it, I have also had x-rays done plenty of time but nobody will help me they say there is nothing they can do I can't take this pain anymore.

Answer: Steps to go thru before a breast reduction ? easy,large heavy, pendulous breasts will give you back pain, shoulder pain and grooving, poor posturing from teen years on, and PT cannot really reverse that....if you have a private insurance, go to the board certified plastic surgeon from your network, otherwise it will be more expensive out of network for you.if not, are you covered by say, Medicaid ? Obamacare ? then go to the department of Plastic Surgery at your local university: you are not far from Cleveland so Case Western ?the doctor will get your height/weight/bra size/breast measurements, then calculate your BSA ( body surface area ) and follow a scale most insurances do, and figure out the amount of breast tissue to remove.you want to make sure you are healthy, do not smoke, and that you are not overweight which will help with surgery and healing.good luck,Florence mussat

Answer: Breast pain with very large breasts Something about your story is puzzling. Certainly, a plastic surgeon may try a conservative approach by recommending physical therapy. However, you may want to seek recommendations from other plastic surgeons. Your breasts seem very large, and breast reduction may provide a long-term relief from your pains. Physical therapy may not have a high likelihood of success.I would have another plastic surgeon examine you. You may find that they are willing to proceed with surgery, and that they will get preauthorization from your insurance company for you.
