Considering breast reduction. 5'2" 180lb 36G (it possible 34K/L as per measurements, 33" around ribcage and 44" at the fullest part). I am approved for a 730g per breast reduction by the insurance. As per mammograms I have dense breasts. My doc has told me that he can't estimate how much would be taken off during final surgery. Insurance had initially rejected my request for 600g per side reduction. Just worried if the required weight would be taken off to satisfy the insurance requirement.
Answer: Breast reduction alternatives At size 36 G, each 200 grams of removal corresponds to 1 cup size change. Removing 730 grams would take you down 3 ½ cup sizes. This may or may not be proportionate to your body. If you pay for the surgery yourself then you can choose the size you desire. The technique I recommend for breast reduction 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. By definition increased density will weigh more. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Breast reduction 730 grams is an awful lot to get removed in a breast reduction. Without photos impossible to be able to give you better information. You can limit your financial exposure by having the procedure performed in a surgeon’s operating room. Unfortunately this is one of the problems with insurance coverage. You never know what the insurance company will do.
