I have problems with chest pain underneath my breasts, arm pain, and back pain. Would I breast reduction improve my symptoms and appearance. Are my breast large or too large for my height and weight, or are my measurement within normal range or limits? Would I benefit from a Breast Reduction?
Answer: Reduction candidate Candidates for breast reduction will typically have documented evidence of neck/back and shoulder pain as well as rashes and bra strap grooving attributable to the increased breast weight. They will often demonstrate that these symptoms have been resistant to more conservative measures like therapy, weight loss and pharmacologic intervention. This is needed for insurance coverage.

Answer: BMI for breast reduction At 5’7 and 220 lbs, your BMI is 34.4. Generally we like to have patients with a BMI of 30-32. However, it is possible you could undergo a 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.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Would I be a likely client for a Breast Reduction? (Photo) BRs which are medically necessary (i.e. you suffer back, shoulder, and neck "pain" with DOCUMENTED medical attention over a period of a YEAR) are typically covered by medical insurance. If not, your medical insurance may try to deny you based upon a lot of things such as weight, lack of symptoms, lack of previous medical management, and lack of enough tissue that should be removed.

Answer: Breast reduction candidate Thanks for your question! Based on the photos and information you provided, I think you would definitely benefit from that procedure. However, I do agree with my colleague below that you should lose a bit of weight to ensure coverage. Also, it's best to be at your target weight prior to any surgery. Good luck!
