I'm 24, 5'5" and 120 lbs. I was 28 DDD the last time I checked (yikes!). I love long distance running, and my breasts have ALWAYS been in the way. I have a small frame and rashes, discomfort all the time for years. Do I seem like a good candidate? I'm not concerned with scarring or loss of future breastfeeding or sensation. To be honest, I want to have an A cup. I've had a mammogram done and have a lot of fibrous, dense tissue (losing weight doesn't affect my breast size). Thanks!

Answer: Breast Reduction An in person examination would be required to give you a definitive answer. From your photos you appear to be an excellent candidate for breast reduction surgery. However, it is unlikely that you will qualify for an insurance procedure. A plastic surgeon could give you a quote for the cost as a cosmetic or self pay procedure.Trey Aquadro, M.D.Auburn, AL

Answer: Breast reduction? First off, bra manufacturers are all different. They don't have standard cup sizes. Based on your pictures, I would not consider you a DDD cup. I would think that you would certainly benefit from a breast lift for a perkier shape to your breasts as well as a slight reduction if you want less fullness. I don't think that enough breast tissue could be removed to warrant insurance coverage for this procedure. Again, this is based solely on your pictures. I would suggest that you schedule an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can examine you in person and review your options with you.
