I am 19yo with a 38DDD breast size. I'm also 5’1 and weigh 170-180. Growing up I developed serious back pain and I was also bullied through middle school for having big breasts at a young age causing me to have chronic depression and a really low self esteem. Would I need to lose weight in order to get a breast reduction? Would insurance cover part or the whole procedure?

Answer: Breast reduction Thank you for your question. Each Surgeon will have their own protocol when it comes to surgery and BMI. Insurances are all different and require different guidelines. I would suggest seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate you, discuss your options, gather the insurance information and make a plan. Best of luck to you.
