Cup size 36-I / 36-DDD. Am I a good candidate for either breast reduction or breast lift, retaining nipple function? (photos)

You should be able to have your surgery covered by insurance. As far as nipple sensation there is always a risk of diminished nipple sensation and there will be significant scars as well. Depending on the technique you may it may not be able to breast feed. But you do need the operation done. Otherwise it will give you serious back problems over time.

Dear pardeepxkaur,
breast reduction is best suited for women who wish to decrease the size of their breasts. While there are different techniques used to perform this surgery, I prefer the vertical incision (lollipop pattern) breast reduction technique instead of the anchor scar pattern, which reduces more noticeable scarring than usual. I also use a SAFE liposuction technique to reduce additional fat around the stubborn axilla area and bra line. This way, my patients are achieving beautiful results with minimal incisions which reduces downtime and delivers an overall better breast shape long term.If you are considering breast reduction surgery, you should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and make sure your surgeon understands your goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
