Fibrocystic breasts, 1000g reduction - is 1000g is an attainable amount that will still leave me with a least a handful?

Asked By:LaurieAnnTX in Texas

I am 5'6" 240lbs size 16 pant. My insurance requires 1000 grams per breast removed for the procedure to be considered medically necessary. I wear a properly fitted 38H and have dense fibrocystic breast tissue. The measurements taken at my consultation indicate an FNG will not be necessary. I'm not worried about have breast proportionate to my over all size. I'd like more opinions on if 1000 grams is an attainable amount that will still leave me with a least a handful.
