Would insurance cover a reduction, and would this procedure help the fibrocystic pain?

January 20, 2015
Asked By:mcat35 in Richmond, VA

I have large breasts (36DD or 38D) that are heavy and pendulous from weight loss/pregnancy. I have neck/shoulder/upper back pain and my straps always leave a mark from having to hold them up. Large areolae. No rashes, but I do have some skin growths (like moles) that tend to form under skin folds under each breast. To compound this, my breasts are fibrocystic and painful, severely with my cycle. Would insurance cover a reduction, and would this procedure help the fibrocystic pain? Thanks!
