I'm 23, 5 foot 3, 140lbs, and my bra size is 34G, I have constant neck and back pain, and headaches. I have also had a child she’ll be 2 in September. I do plan on having other kids. I have Tricare, through my husband and through the va. My breast have always been on the bigger side but ever since I had a baby 2 years ago my breast went from a 32D to a 34G and I didn’t breast feed. I also now have arthritis is my lower back. Do you think I’ll pass on tri care standards or is it a waste of time.
Answer: Candidate For Breast Reduction Surgery From your description it sounds like you are a good candidate for breast reduction surgery. You should have documentation of what you have tried to alleviate your symptoms, such as; special bras, physical therapy, analgesics, etc. get a referral to a board certified plastic surgeon that accepts your insurance. Good luck.

Answer: Breast Reduction Surgery -- Superomedial Pedicle, Excess Breast Tissue Removal, Breast Asymmetry Improvement You need a formal evaluation by a licensed plastic surgeon and expert in breast reductions to determine what is best for you and your goals.Breast reduction is one of my favorite surgeries as it allows me to dramatically improve a woman’s breast appearance as well as alleviate many physical symptoms of large breasts, such as back, neck and shoulder pain, bra strap grooving, and rashes under the breasts. When I perform breast reduction surgery, I generally use a superomedial pedicle to provide blood supply to the nipple while maintaining fullness in the upper and inner breast. Excess lower and outer breast tissue are removed. Breasts are often asymmetrical, so I remove more tissue from the larger breast. The final scar pattern is a circle around the areola, down the breast, and possibly under the breast, depending on the degree of skin excess.

Answer: Breast reduction candidate You appear to be a good candidate for a breast reduction. Whether it will be covered by your insurance is unknown until you see a plastic surgeon and have your case submitted for approval. Most insurance companies require about 500gms of tissue to be removed per side. This can likely be accomplished through a vertical pattern breast reduction. A consultation in person would confirm this and give you a more detailed recommendation. I feel you would have a very nice outcome and relief of you neck and back pain.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Answer: Am I a good candidate for breast reduction? Thank you for the question. Based on your description you may be an excellent candidate for breast reduction surgery. However, much more information is needed to determine whether you should proceed with surgery, and if so when (timing). In my practice, I individualize the “timing” of surgery based on a lot of information that is transmitted during the consultation process.
