23 Years Old, NO KIDS, 6'0 Tall, Hoping to Get a Much Wanted and Needed Breast Reduction. NJ

WORTH IT
Since I was a teenager I have had large sized boobs to which everyone believes to be 'proportionate to my body size'. I am a tall woman so my weight seems evenly dispersed, but my chest is way too large. Because of its size (44 JJ UK) my boobs sag a lot, and this sagging causes chest pains when I am not wearing a bra. My doctors tell me I need to lose weight, but I cannot exercise properly because of my breasts. My lower back feels stiff and aches from time to time, and I believe it to be directly linked to my chest. I have scheduled an appointment with my primary physician on Monday to ask for her to send a pre-authorization letter to my insurance company. I had gone to her before explaining my back pain, but all that was done was an MRI (which revealed nothing). Today I wrote down a list of things/reasons to explain to my doctor for my appointment. I'm fully prepared to plead my case because she seems like the type to not prescribe things easily. I also called my insurance company, but they were literally of no help. Here's to hoping for a good appointment on Monday!

I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Datiashvili (also known as Dr. D since his name is hard to pronounce) at University Hospital in Newark, New Jersey. I have been told by several people that he is one of the best surgeons in the Plastic Surgery Department at University Hospital. Word of advice: Do NOT go in expecting him to give you exact size measurements of what your breasts will look like. (I learned this the hard way). Apparently, he does not want to give expectations going into surgery. He did a VERY good job and I have minimal scarring and pain for the amount that was removed (800grams).

Most people just don't understand that boobs that big are not necessarily proportional for your size. They are just really, really heavy and throw your whole body off! Good luck on your journey.

Hey girl I feel your pain. I am actually from jersey city too and have been to multiple plastic surgeons around this area for the past YEAR! I've been going to chiropractors since I was 15 (I'm about to be 23) and I'm trying to get insurance to cover me right now! I also struggle with my weight but I've been told that my breasts are mostly breast tissue and not fat so I hope that works in my favor..considering I've been everywhere between 100 lbs and 200 lbs and my breasts have stayed the same size with only maybe a half cup size difference ugh. I can hardly sit up without pain, never mind exercising every day and giving myself a huge rash under my boobs and horrible back pain! I wish these doctors/insurance companies understood. Good luck to you, if you want to get in touch and share dr info let me know! :) I'm curious what dr's you've seen around here!

Interviewing Surgeons

After reading more stories on this site, I realized that I need to start the process of selecting a surgeon. Especially since they will be the ones sending in the pre-authorization letter to my insurance company. Well, I found about 4 doctors near me that offer free consultations. I'm not sorry about the free part cuz...money. So far 3 have replied and will contact me today about setting up an appointment. If any of you guys have any tips on what I should look for please leave a comment. I'm currently writing down a list of questions to help with the elimination process.

You need to have realistic expectations. Depending on how your body is built they can only go down so far. I'm a 38j and when I went to talk to a really good plastic surgeon he said I would need an extended breast reduction. Fold of the boob extends to the side under my arm. Probably I can go down to a dd or ddd cup. So keep that in mind. Good luck!
