I am 23. Bra size is a 36DDD. 161IBS 5'5. Been having back, neck and shoulder pain since 13. My breast are saggy. Small frame. I have dents in my shoulders. More headaches. Back goes out time to time. I have so much stress in my neck, back , and shoulders. I've been to PT for my breast and back and the PT did say I have a really bad posture because of my breast being heavy. I do tend to sit hunched over. I really do need this!!! I just feel so uncomfortable with my body because of my large breast.
Answer: How to qualify for a breast reduction?? (Medicaid) I am sorry to hear about the problems your disproportionately large breasts cause. Based on your description I think you are likely an excellent candidate for breast reduction surgery.I think the biggest challenge you may face is finding a reputable plastic surgeon who works with Medicaid. Ultimately, careful selection of your plastic surgeon will be one of the most important decisions you make. I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.

Answer: Breast reduction Breast reduction can change your life and relieve your neck, back and shoulder pain. Insurance does not always cover this procedure, it always depends on the policy for the individual insurance company including Medicaid. See a board certified plastic surgeon, let them evaluate you and see if you are a good candidate. It will be difficult to find an experienced plastic surgeon within the medicaid network. Find a surgeon you are comfortable with and see what your options are. Good luck!

Answer: Medicaid coverage for breast reduction Dear Unpretty91,It really sounds like you are struggling with painful symptoms of macromastia (large breasts). A 36 DDD is very large on a 5'5" frame. You sound like an appropriate candidate for breast reduction surgery. Typically, breast reduction is performed for headaches, pain in the neck, shoulders, upper back, kyphosis (forward neck), bra strap grooving, and rashes attributable to the breasts. Generally several months of therapy, NSAIDs, and specialized bras are trialled; if the pain persists, your best option may be reduction surgery. Medicaid criteria vary but have been known to cover reduction surgery; you should seek the counsel of a plastic surgeon or academic center where Medicaid is accepted, and proceed from there. I really hope this helps and that you seek the help you deserve. Hopefully, in your next response, you change your name to Pretty91!Sincerely,
