It puts alot of strain on my neck shoulders and back. looking to get a breast lift. what should i do? and will my insurance pay for it
Answer: Breast lift Thank you for the question. A breast lift and/or reduction may be appropriate for you. The first question you would need to answer during your consultation is do you want your size to be smaller, larger or the same. This would determine if you would be a candidate for a lift, lift with an implant or breast reduction. This would all occur during your consultation. Hope this helps you.

Answer: Breast reduction for breast that sag Patients with "sagging" breast may benefit from a breast lift (reshaping of the breast to a more youthful shape and position. However, if the patient do have in addition large amounts of breast tissue, they will benefit from a breast reduction (a procedure that decreases the size of the breast, while lifting them at the same time). Insurance may cover ONLY a breast reduction when the surgeon is able to resect more than 500gm per preset (approximately 1 pound per breast). Patients interested in breast surgery (either lift or reduction) should make a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon specialized in breast lift /reduction

Answer: Correction of heavy, sagging breasts. Are you looking to decrease the size of your breasts or simply lift the nipple and improve the contour? You mentioned that they are not very full but they are heavy so it is unclear if you are looking for decreased breast volume.

Answer: A breast lift or reduction may be a good option Thank you for your question. Like other doctors have mentioned, you have to consider what your goals are in order to determine the best treatment. If they are not very full and you desire fullness, especially near the upper pole, you may need a small implant to help restore volume in addition to a reduction/lift. Many insurances do cover breast reduction surgery if you are in pain, but your insurance would have to be contacted to find out specifics. I recommend you see a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in this field in order to get the best advice.
