My right breast is a saggy DDD and my left is a perky C. Its quite embarassing, Im not comfortable in my clothes, bathing suit or naked. I have major self esteem issues from it. Im a larger woman but my breast look even worse when i loose weight. I have extreme right back/shoulder pain, I even list to the right, I think its a side effect from trying to hide it since I was a teen. My right breast also often aches before menses. I live in the northeast, if that helps with a price range.

Thanks for the question. I recommend seeking a second opinion from a board certified plastic surgeon, if the next surgeon gives the same answer, you should be in good condition.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Insurance companies demand a certain combination of measurements and possibly photograph to determine whether or not they will cover breast reduction if at all. You can submit this yourself if you want to hasten the process.

 Thank you for your picture. I'm not really sure why you have that contour abnormality of your left breast. It's been four months it is unlikely that that will have significant improvement. You might be a consideration for fat grafting to that area to improve the contour. Please speak with...

Each case like yours has to be considered individually.  If your breasts are extremely large and uncomfortable, performing a breast reduction at your age is not unreasonable.  However, you would need parental permission, so you should discuss the issue with your parents.

It is not uncommon to undergo this procedure as a teenager with your parent's consent.  Virginal hypertrophy is more likely the cause and a breast reduction should help you.
