I'm wondering what other doctors feel about my body. My insurance declined me the first time and said I needed to lose weight. I'm 5'4 and I measure a 38D . I have a bone spur in my neck and pinched nerves in my shoulders. Please help

Answer: Breast Reduction for 5'4" 38D woman with Neck Pain Lower neck and upper back pain are often relieved by Breast Reduction for appropriately selected women. Pain that develops along with the breast is also more likely to resolve with Breast Reduction surgery. Weight loss and physical therapy are often requested by insurance, and are rarely helpful for the women I have treated. In terms of the distribution of weight, your breasts appear out of proportion to your frame. Before have surgery, weigh the risks and the benefits. It is a decision that only you can make.

Answer: Will a breast reduction help? YES! A breast reduction will definitely help you if you have symptoms. You look very thin but with pendulous breasts. A lift, small reduction will be very helpful in reducing or eliminating pain. Insurance may not pay, its politics and I can't help there, but surgery could change your life.
