Breast Reduction with insurance BCBS Federal. Is 500 grams too much?

Asked By:TLynn1962 in Rockledge, Florida

I’ve had rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders with one being unsuccessful/irreparable. Over the past couple of years wearing any type of bra is causing serious pain- primary doctor recommended a Breast Reduction. I ‘m a 38 D, med. frame-5'8”, 155 lbs, 57yrs with dense breasts. BCBS should cover the procedure but requires 500g+ per breast be removed. For pain I’d like to go as small/light as possible for my build (B cup?) Is 500g too much to achieve this and still look proportional?
