i am a 19 year old 5”2 white female with two children. i am having problems with my breasts since having them. i roll over on them and they get in the way a lot, it’s affecting my day to day life now. i have scoliosis and my breasts sag and make my back hurt even more. i am wondering if insurance will cover some of the cost. my breasts are too large for my body, my nipple and areola point downwards. it is causing me pain and self image is hard as it is.
Answer: Breast lift vs. Breast reduction. Hi, it is best to ask yourself what your cosmetic goals are first. Do you want significantly smaller breasts, lifted breasts, improved shape, and/or improved symmetry? Insurance plans will vary on their requirements for coverage in terms of breast reduction surgery and may require significant amounts of tissue removed to achieve those requirements. This sometimes is technically not possible if insufficient tissue is present (you must maintain certain amounts to preserve blood supply to the skin and nipple) or it may result in poor cosmetic results. I can't provide an accurate recommendation without seeing you in person to perform a physical exam and get a complete medical and surgical history. However, based on your images your best option may be a bilateral breast lift with a small Right side breast reduction for improved symmetry. This procedure will maintain a breast size proportional to your body, round out and lift your breasts, reduce areolar size, and improve symmetry.

Answer: A breast lift / reduction is the answer Your only truly satisfying option is to surgically lift and reduce your breasts. Depending on your insurance, it may be covered but it will take some preauthorization. Our office does not accept insurance but we do perform this procedure safely awake under local anesthesia called the Awake Breast Lift ®

Answer: Considering options From your photos and description of symptoms you would benefit from a breast lift with or without a reduction. This would remove excess skin, downsize the areola, and lift the nipple. You could elect to reduce the breast volume as well if you feel they are too large. The reduction is sometimes a covered benefit under insurance, but you would need to check with your carrier for specifics.
