Asked By:Kc730 in Charleston, South Carolina

I'm a 44 year old female at 5'4 and 225 lbs. I've consulted with a plastic surgeon about breast reduction. But I just heard from my insurance company and for the procedure to be approved the doctor hast to remove 819 g per breast. If I am a size 36 G/H, how many cup sizes would I have to go down for insurance to cover the surgery? The doctor requested 500 g per breast, but he also did not ask me specifically what size I'd like to be aftet the surgery.
