I’m 19 years old, 137 pounds, 5 feet 3 inches, and wear a 36DD. My breasts cause me back, neck, and shoulder pain. I feel like they’ve affected my posture as well. The NP said most insurance require 950 grams to be removed per breast. I’m concerned that is too much and my breasts will end up too small. I want to be a full C/small D cup. Is a breast reduction the right choice for me?
Answer: Bellesoma Breast Reduction The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.

Answer: Is breast reduction the right choice for me? Breast reduction frequently helps with the back and neck pain you have mentioned. Insurance does have requirements as well. Additionally, breast reduction can potentially decrease your chance of breast feeding in the future which may be important to you (or not). 950 seems like a lot - you may need to explore your options outside of insurance coverage.

Answer: Breast reduction Thanks for your question! I do think that you would be a good candidate for a breast reduction. We have a lot of patients that require less per breast so I would suggest a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon. Worst case scenario, if it was important to you, you could pay out of pocket. Most doctors offices have great financing options. Good luck!

Answer: To Reduce or Not to Reduce #breastreduction Thanks for your question! The most important thing is for you to get an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss with you at length the pros and cons of a breast reduction. This is especially important because you're 19 and therefore most of your life is still ahead of you and your breasts will continue to change throughout your lifetime. Once you've had a breast reduction, you will always have had a breast reduction. It will make breast feeding more difficult if not impossible.
