Answer: I think you should Your description sounds like someone who would benefit from breast reduction surgery. Upper back, neck, and shoulder pain are very typical symptoms in someone with disproportionately large breasts. In order to answer the question of insurance coverage you will need to be evaluated by a plastic surgeon who will discuss your symptoms, examine you, estimate how much breast tissue (as measured in grams) will be removed, and put this information in a letter to your insurance company to determine before the operation if it will be a covered procedure.

Answer: Bra size 30F-should I get a breast reduction? Thank you for your question. Many women with an overly-large breast volume can experience upper neck and back pain. This is called symptomatic breast hypertrophy, and is the most common indication for breast reduction surgery. Although breast reduction is not a cure for all forms of back/neck pain, many women achieve relief of these symptoms with a smaller and higher breast position. Insurance plans differ with regard to requirements for breast reduction, and pre-operative approval. Your plastic surgeon's office staff can assist you in explaining your particular plan coverage and its requirements. As always, the best place to begin is with a complete consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon in your area. I wish you all the best.
