Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Scheuermann's Kyphosis Patient Curious About Breast Reduction to Help Relieve Back Pain? (photo)

January 31, 2013
Asked By:Marie2752

I'm 47 years old with EDS type 3, Scheuermann's Kyphosis and profound back pain. I have a 75 degree kyphotic curve with the apex at T6-7. I recently lost 55 lbs (BMI=29 now) after gastric bypass. My breasts have always sagged profoundly, even as a teen. Current bra size is 38DDD and my breasts feel like they pull my whole chest down worsening the kyphosis. Do I have tuberous breast deformity? Would breast reconstruction/reduction help my back pain? Would insurance cover this procedure?
