If you are experiencing constant back and neck pain because of your large breasts, breast reduction surgery can decrease your breast size and ease your discomfort.
Symptoms that may indicate your need for breast reduction surgery
• You have constant back, neck and shoulder pain
• Your posture is poor
• Underneath your breasts you have a skin rash
• Your bra strap leaves deep grooves in your shoulders
• Your activity is limited
• You're ashamed that your breasts are so large
• You can't find a bra big enough
While there is no age limit for breast reduction surgery it's a good idea to wait until you 20 so you're your breasts have fully developed. But if your teen is self conscious or teased because of her breast size, she should have the surgery; it will make her feel better and you too!
Because of the changes that your breasts undergo during pregnancy you should not have a breast reduction surgery until you are done having children. If you have this surgery before child birth it can make breast feeding difficult.
Will your breast reduction surgery be covered by insurance?
If your breast reduction surgery is a medical necessity then your insurance will cover it. The downside to this is that your insurance company can limit the size of your breast, only paying for the bare minimum that will relieve your symptoms.
This surgery can range from $5000 to $10000 depending on what you are having done and your demographical area. Brace yourself, because you will need to pall all the expenses that your insurance company doesn't cover.
Preparing for breast surgery
When you go for your initial visit with your surgeon make sure that you understand every aspect of your surgery, what you are going to go through and what complications may arise. You will be required to have mammogram before surgery. And if you smoke you will be required to quit before surgery because nicotine impairs blood flow to the tiny vessels that supply the nipple area.
Each surgeon has developed his own skills when it comes to breast reduction surgery, but the most will make an anchor-shaped incision that goes around the areola, down the breast toward the crease between the breast and abdomen, and then horizontally in the crease under the breast. Next excessive breast tissue, fat and skin will be removed. A horizontal incision won't be necessary if you are only having a small amount of tissue removed.
