Age 60, female - would I be a breast reduction candidate at 230lbs?

Asked By:imalright1962 in Boon, Michigan

I’m a 60 year old female. 65” tall 230# after losing almost 100#. I have considerable neck and shoulder discomfort especially when I wear a bra. I’ve plateaued with my weight loss and know if I increase my activity level I’d break thru. I just cannot tolerate the discomfort to my neck and shoulders after my work day. Would I be a candidate for a breast reduction even at this weight? Would insurance cover part of the costs? Also, could I undergo an arm lift at the same time?
