Not going to lie this is mainly for my appearance but also for health reasons.I do weight about 165 lbs currently and I saw my primary doctor who told me I needed to lose some weight and see if the would help. When I saw my primary I was almost 180 lbs and losing the 10-15 pounds did nothing for me. I've been reading into it a lot and I do have the dents in my shoulders from my bras. I do tend to feel uncomfortable doing anything active and I do experience back and neck pain.

Answer: Breast reduction There is evidence that complications of breast reduction are more common in women who weigh more trhan 80kg. Your recent weight loss has brought you into this group. It is important that you achieve a weight that you will maintain. Some women lose weight after surgery and then the beneficial effects on breast shape may be lost - so lose any weight you are going to first.

Answer: Breast reduction can improve symptoms and appearance For my patients, we recommend that they are at a stable and reasonable weight prior to breast reduction. But sometimes, patients lose weight but their breasts don't go down in size. This happens because women have different proportions of breast tissue and fat in their breasts. So if breasts don't go down with weight loss then there might be a lot of dense breast tissue. If they have the other symptoms of neck pain, back pain, bra strap grooving and meet the insurance requirements for gram removal then sometimes insurance will pay for it. It is best to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation.
