In 7th grade, I was diagnosed with scoliosis by the school nurse. Even then I was wearing a 34D bra. I have recently gone to my doctor for my back pains and she says working out will help, but it hasn't (My weight is actually quite proportionate to my frame). Anyway, I have also recently developed asthmatic symptoms and been prescribed an inhaler, but my doctor still doesn't think my breasts are an issue. How should I go about getting the recommendation I need to be healthy?

Answer: I am 21, 5'4", 165lbs with 34G breasts. I want a reduction but my doctors says "just work out, the pain go away". Help? I am sorry to hear about the problems your disproportionately large breasts cause. I am also sorry to hear about the somewhat ignorant advice your physician has provided to you. Unfortunately, exercise will not necessarily improve your symptoms. I would suggest that you meet with a few board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience in achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with. Best wishes.

Answer: Managed care insurance? You describe an ideal situation where a reduction procedure could be beneficial. This is not going to help your asthma. Please see if your doctor will refer you to a plastic surgeon for an evaluation and to learn of what documentation you may need to have this procedure authorized. If your doctor won't do that, you can always check the rosters of participating plastic surgeons and see if you can schedule an appointment without a referral. But when you have this procedure done, it will diminish your ability to fully breast feed children should they be in your future.
