Is breast reduction the right choice for me?

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!

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.
The most common scale that insurance companies use to determine "medical necessity" for a breast reduction is the Schnur scale. Not every insurance company uses this scale however. Using your stated height and weight, your body surface area is approximately 1.65 meters squared. On the Schnur scale, that equates to 338 gram reduction in weight per breast. Always better to evaluate from in-person but from your pictures it looks like you could get a 338 gram reduction per breast and maintain proportion. Smaller breasts, but not small. Seems like you would be a great candidate for an in-person consultation for a breast reduction.
