I am about 180 pounds right now, with more fat than am I comfortable with, but primarily the weight of my breasts has become an issue. I am a 40F and I have extreme sagging because of how heavy my breasts are, an due to their weight my back is rounded with neck, upper and lower back pain, and shoulder pain. It is impossible for me to straighten my posture for any length of time. I am curious if with the pictures provided if it is clear whether or not this can be something covered by insurance?
Answer: Covered by insurance? Thanks for your question! You appear to be a great candidate for a breast reduction. Whether or not your insurance will cover it is contingent on their requirements. I would encourage you to reach out to your insurance company and ask what they require. Then, find a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area that A) specializes in breast reduction and B) accepts your insurance. Good luck!

Answer: Breast Reduction and Medical Insurance You appear to be a good candidate for breast reduction surgery. It will depend on your medical insurance policy as to whether or not it will be a covered procedure. Some insurance companies do not cover breast reduction surgery at all, while others have many requirements you need to meet in order to get approval. Most require that you need at least 500 grams of breast tissue removed from each breast, and many want to know that you have tried other measures to alleviate your condition, such as; physical therapy, special bras, analgesics, etc.Be sure to consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in breast surgery. Your surgeon will be able to help you get pre-authorization for your surgery. Good luck.

Answer: Am I a candidate for a breast reduction/lift? Thank you for the question. I am sorry to hear about the problems your disproportionately large breasts are causing; based on your description, you may be a good candidate for breast reduction surgery. “Official” recommendations of course would necessitate in-person consultation.

Answer: I am 24, 5’5” with 40F breasts. Am I a candidate for a breast reduction/lift? Based on the photo, you will benefit from a breast reduction surgery. Not only because of the aesthetic improvement but also for your overall health. Having the breast reduction surgery will get rid of the excess weight of the breasts and thus relieve the pressure exerted on your back and neck. In this sense a lift is not advisable as it will not relieve the pains you are feeling on the back and the neck. Schedule an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon for an in-person examination and a detailed discussion of your surgical options and their benefits.
