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: Pendulous breast I did not see your pictures, but you describe with accuracy the pendulous breasts: those resemble a pendulum or a pouch of bottom piled stones, with empty upper and central areas of the breasts; this is treated with McKissock mammaplasty and breast implants at the same time, strongly recommended anatomical shaped, cohesive gel-filled and highly adherent implants (to avoid luxation or bottoming out), the most adherent are macrotextured and the top the polyurethane coated implants (if available).

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: Breast Reduction A breast reduction actually also lifts and since it is often used to reduce back and neck pain as well as other medical problems associated with having heavy breasts, it is considered a reconstructive surgery and is often covered by insurance.Be sure to speak with a board certified plastic surgeon who can discuss your specifics, including possible insurance coverage.Best wishes!
