My goal is to reduce from 36G to 36 C and lift the excess skin and tissue as a result from the reduction. And! To have insurance cover the procedure. I have horribly intense headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, and upper back pain. It's impossible to find clothes that fit and I am held back with physical limitations due to the size of my chest. I can only wear a bra so many hrs a day otherwise I'm locked up in my house bra-less.

Go for it. I'm in a very similar situation (size wise) after breastfeeding two kiddos for over a year each. I have mostly dense tissue that does not reduce in size with weight loss :( I'm scheduled for 9/27 after wanting this surgery since my 20s (now 47). I did so much research on the procedure, the surgeon and the insurance. I was approved in 24 hours. One of the biggest things I learned in my research was to be prepared with your information for an appeal. I read here and in many other locations that many people are successful with appeals. As necessary and life altering as this procedure is, it has also become very common for aesthetic reasons, which has driven insurance companies to be more rigid in the review and approval of cases. GOOD LUCK!

I didn't really do anything to get approved. The took measurements, sent in my symptoms and my insurance approved the surgery. It was a pretty easy process considering I have an HMO

Pre-Surgery & Post Details

I went in yesterday, (10/10/16) for my reduction, lift & lipo. Everything went perfectly! The surgery was just over 4 hrs. I spent the night in the surgery center and surprisingly it's been nice and quiet. They have left me alone except for when I have needed them for help.

Pain: My boobs are generally not in pain. However the cuts under, in the crease and the lipo done on my sides BURNS pretty bad!
