If I got a breast reduction surgery, how many pounds would be taken off my breasts?

Insurance companies vary on their criteria. Most insurance companies require about a pound to a pound and a half of tissue to be removed per side in order to qualify as an insurance based procedure.In very large breasted women, three pounds or more can be removed per side.It's generally not the number of pounds but rather creating proportionate sized breasts that is important.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.

It is difficult to say without seeing you.  Pictures would be helpful.  It is always best to come in for an in person consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Best of luck to you,Dr. Peter Newen
