I am 22 years old, female, 5'0", and 155 lbs. My bra size is 32 I. Four years ago I was 135 lbs and bra size 32 DDD. A couple months ago I saw a doctor and was told I have costochronditis and have been taking medication to help with the pain.

Answer: Costochondritiis and breast reduction I have seen costochondritis and treated it. I have seen many issues with heavy, pendulous breasts. I have never seen costochondritis with macromastia. I am not saying it cannot happen. If your surgeon feels they are related then a letter to your insurance company would be in order. It is unclear to me that your symptoms would be relieved with a breast reduction, but it may be worth a try.All the best,Talmage Raine MD
