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: 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: I am 23, 5 foot 3, weigh 140lbs, and my bra size is 34G. Am I a good candidate for breast reduction? (Photos) 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 most medical insurance providers. If not, they may try to deny you based upon a lot of things such as lack of symptoms, lack of previous medical management, and lack of enough tissue that should be removed. The insurance companies will dictate the amount of tissue to be removed, not the PS.
