Breasts 38HH, I’m 20. Could I possibly get a breast reduction?

 I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with.   Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified, Double Fellowship-Trained Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Dear Madison79ad,based on your description, it sounds like you might be a candidate for a breast reduction. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

Overly large breasts can cause some people to have health problems, self-image issues, physical pain and discomfort.  A reduction mammaplasty, or a breast reduction, is a procedure that removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin to achieve a breast size in proportion with your body and to alleviate the discomfort associated with large breasts.  This procedure also works to lift the breasts, as years of excess weight can cause the breasts to sag.  As long as your breast have stopped growing, and there are no medical conditions that prevent a breast reduction, most people looking to reduce their breast size are candidates for a breast reduction.Typically, Plastic Surgeons are the surgeons to see for this type of procedure.  It is always best to seek out a Board Certified Surgeon with experience in breast reductions, lifts and augmentation.  

At
age 20, you should be concerned with vertical scars, loss of nipple sensation
and the inability to breast feed.  These
occur with the anchor technique.  For
that reason, an alternative technique was developed called The Bellesoma
Method.  This will reduce and reshape
your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them
higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  The weight of the breast is transferred to
the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without
excessive reduction.  Vertical scars are
avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are maintained.    Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Sounds like you have classic symptoms of a breast reduction candidate. Breast reduction is meant to achieve the following objectives:
Raising and repositioning the nippleRestoring breast tissue to a higher, less descended location on the chest wallSignificantly reducing the volume — and hence the weight – of the breastTightening and removing sagging, loose breast skin by placing an incision around the nipple, as well as vertical and possibly horizontal ones depending on the amount of skin excess and how low the breasts hangInsurance coverage depends on the symptom profile, your carrier's policies, and the relative volume of breast tissue the surgeon thinks can/should be removed in order to ameliorate the symptoms. Go on some consultations with surgeons in your network to see if you will meet criteria. A pre-determination process is available with a lot of payers to determine ahead of surgery if you meet coverage criteria and with what minimum volume of removal.
