Breast Reduction

Who has had one - why - cosmetic or acutally physically in pain? How bad was it and did your insurance cover it? And how big WERE you and how big did you end up?

I get nasty neck/upper back aches, have lovely indents on my shoulders - I am a 38 DD -

I haven't had one, but I want one when we are done with babies. I'm too big as it is now (last bra I got was a size 42L), and it does cause me shoulder & back pain, plus grooves in my shoulders despite extra wide straps. I'm sure our insurance will cover it if it's causing other physical problems.

a friend of mine looked into it she is uneven as is cause soem mild back issues, I forget what the diagnosis is but her insuacne wont cover it

Went from a 38DD to a 38D, was the best thing I ever did. And it was for medical reasons. My insurance covered the majority of it. I had to have a certain weight removed from each, but I love it. The recovery wasn't as bad as I expected. I felt lousy for a few days, couldn't raise my hands over my head for about a week. Was totally worth it.

I have a friend that had one when she was 16 because she was having MAJOR back problems. If it is causing you other medical problems your insurance will cover it

I was thinking about it when i was chubbier... but I went from a 38 DD to a 32 C.... so I'm not thikning about it anymore..I kind of want some boobage back.

I want a lift - don't think insurance will consider it though even if I beg.

I have to laugh, I'm barely a 34B, so I need some boobs! Definitely not thinking of a reduction here.

I just had mine done right about 2 years ago in January......I love it....Mine was for not only back pain, but a little cosmetic too because I didn't ask for it, but they lifted mine too. I went from a 40 dd to a 38 D....although If I lost some weight they would be alot smaller...When I first got them done they were alot smaller...Like a 36 C....But I have gained weight.

My insurance paid for all of it....its military insurance though. I didn't think the pain was bad at all....The worst thing about it for me was the drain tubes they put in my armpits...and my nips were really really sensitive for about a month or so.

yeah. um, I'm barely an A. I don't think I will be getting one.

LeaAnn & Tara - I have enough for both of you that I wish I could give you both . Being big chested is not all it's cracked up to be .

I don't want to be big chested, just chested. nothing like needing to hve chicken cuttlets to fill out your A cup.

I know the feeling. My 34B's sort of hang off of me, I can wear an A cup, it's a tad bit tight, but not too bad, I just wear a B because it makes me feel better!

Mollie, I'd love it if you would share! LOL!

Here's some tata growth vibes for you guys LOL. Believe me, if I could share, I would!!

Thanks. I'll let you know if I see any results

I'm a 36 DD and I have thought about it before....but they aren't causing me any issues (yet), and I think DH would cry.

send some this way too I slide out the bottems of my a cup bra. The kids killed my boobs, now they are flaps of skin with nipples. Although with the right push up bra and a couple pairs of the boys socks tucked in the bottem i fill out a training bra quite well.
