Im 23 yrs old with 44G breasts. I am thinking about a reduction, but I also weigh about 300lbs. Would I even qualify?

Hello and thank you for your question.
It is best to be at a healthy, stable weight prior to having surgery. Your BMI should be no higher than 32. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!

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, but there are other criteria such as amount of breast tissue removed. Check your medical insurance plan to see if your case would be covered AND if it is, which plastic surgeons in your area would work with your plan. Reimbursement is so poor and such a bureaucratic hassle to collect that many PSs lose money on performing the surgery. Obesity increases the rate of wound infections, disruption of suture lines and tissue loss. Every 10 lbs of weight loss increases safety of your breast reduction. Some insurance companies will deny breast reduction surgery unless the BMI is less than 30, others, less than 35. Others may require documentation that you have attempted to lose weight in the past through diet, exercise or weight loss surgery.

Many carriers set BMI maximums. This allows them to deny procedures to overweight women. You may be able to review the criteria online. It isn’t enough to obtain a diet recommendation. You would have to first reach the BMI maximum.
