Hello. I am a 40-year-old woman who has been plagued with large breasts since I was a very young girl. I currently measure a 34” ribcage and a 44” bust: J cup. I would like to be a 39” bust: D or DD cup. My breasts are estimated to weigh 1200 grams each. Insurance is requiring 650 grams/breast to be removed for coverage. My surgeon says this is unsafe and estimates 450 grams/breast removal. Will this be enough? I have fatty breast tissue, not dense. I am desperate for relief. Thank you!

Answer: Breast reduction When considering a breast reduction it's a good idea to visit with a few board certified plastic surgeons near you to listen to varying opinions. Discuss your questions and goals for surgery. Look at before/after photos of each surgeon's work. This should help you make an informed decision.

Answer: Bellesoma Breast Reduction The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. This technique is not covered by insurance. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
