What Are the Steps to Getting a Breast Reduction Approved by my Insurance?

Asked By:siciliaxo

Age: 20 Height: 5'2 1/2" Weight: 120 lbs. Bra size: 32 H I experience a lot of back pain especially in my shoulders. My bra straps often dig into my shoulders. I often feel pulling on my chest area because they are so heavy. I am concerned as to what size they would take them down to, what scarring there could be, what complications could occur, and what my experience would be post-op. I am also a recovering addict so pain medication is something I would have to refuse post-op.
