Hello I have BC/BS and am looking to have a breast reduction covered by insurance. I see that they require a certain gm amount to be removed based on body surface area. I'm wondering if there are alternate ways to measure the body surface area because I think I may have more muscle than the average person. I know muscle doesn't weight more than fat but it's more dense so it's possible I'd have less body surface area than what the Dubois and Schuner scale predict? Thx
