1444 grams of breast tissue removed from each breast - too much?

April 22, 2024
Asked By:msTee37 in Ocala, Florida

I am currently a 40I in bra size. My insurance will not cover the breast reduction unless the surgeon takes 1444 grams off from each breast. I am 5'9" 263lbs . I have had huge breast almost my whole life, so I would prefer to have them reduced as much as possible.
