Would I qualify for a breast reduction?
Asked 2014-01-15
I am 35 with a 4 year old. I have always been big breasted but even more so after having my child. I am 5'1 and 115 lbs and I am currently in a 30 GG bra. I have a lot of back pain but haven't seen a doctor about it. I also like to run and haven't let this stop me but when I run over 4 miles it does get uncomfortable and I get bad rashes under my breasts. Do you think this enough to qualify for a breast reduction if I see my doctor?

Procedure(s)
thank you for your question. I believe you are an excellent candidate for a breast reduction. I would recommend you check with your insurance company for their requirements. Some require 3-6 months of physical therapy to reduce symptoms before covering the procedure.Then I would recommend a consultation from a board certified plastic surgeon in your area that performs this procedure regularly.
