What is odd is that you talked with this girl that was 17 and turning 18 in March,
I thought it was so odd because I am 17 and I turn 18 in March and I want the
same thing done, but I have some different questions for you. First I want you to
know a little bit about me, I’m about to turn 18 and now that I have gained weight my
boobs have gotten to big for my frame, I think I’m a 36D, but I could be wrong cause
I have to mess with my bra allot to make it look like they fit in it but when I put a bra
on you can see some boob that is popping out of the top of my bra so I might be a
DD anyways I have the worst migraines that you could ever imagine and I just cant
get rid of them it hurts so bad that I have to take pain pill when this happens and I
hate taking pills when I bend over my back hurts so bad I can tell its from my boobs
I also have a lump on the back of my neck (top of my back) that I know is from my
boobs and I have had this for a long time, I can't wear a bra that much cause it gives
me migraines and back aches but I have to wear it cause they re starting to look so
droopy and unattractive (when my back hurts so much and I don't take I don't take a
pain pill I start to feel sick and puke) I am 5'3" ohhh and a half and weight 145 now
I just cant sand the pain anymore. I used to weigh 120 and I was a full C with just
34”.


1. Do you think that I can get this done or not (I would get it through insurance)?

2.How good does the scar revision work for these procedures (reduction) scars?

3. Would Mederma work with making them go away?

4. Would it be okay for me to go to a small C or is that even possible?
Or what size would you recommend for my size.

5.If I lost weight after getting them smaller would they get more smaller then the reduction size?

6.What are my chances of not being able to feel my nipples?

7. If I can’t feel my nipples will they still get hard when it’s cold and etc.?

8. How much smaller will the nipple be after surgery?

I think that’s all the questions I have for now but if I have more I will not be afraid to ask.

Hello Kurstie!

Welcome to the forums. In regards to your questions:

1. Breast Reductions can be covered by insurance depending upon the severity of the problems your breats are causing for you and how much you would need to have removed. Recently we had a visitor to the forums that mentioned that her insurance company will allow her to have the surgery covered if she has a minimum of 350cc's removed (Which would bring her down approx. one full to one and a half cup sizes.) You may want to talk to your insurance company about their requirements, they may even recommend you to a specialist in their network.

2. Scar revision all depends on the type of incisions being done, and can be discussed with your doctor at the time of your consultation. Most women find that with proper care, scars can be lightened dramatically within 9-12 months of surgery.

3. It is possible for something like Mederma to work, although most patients just stick to a vitamin E rub and Cocoa butter to reduce scarring due the difference in price and availability.

4. The doctor will be able to tell you an appropriate size to be reduced to. Keep in mind that every womans body is built differently and what may be a good size for one might be all wrong for another.

5. It is possible for your breasts to shrink more upon weight loss and even grow back to their original size with weight gain.

6. This too depends on what method is used for the reduction, but if this is a major concern you can discuss it with your doctor and he may be able to suggest alternatives or make you feel a little better about the situation by giving you more information.

7. Feeling in your nipples can be drastically reduced for a time, but they should still react as normal despite the lightened sensitivity.

8. Your nipples will continue to be the size that they are currently, although your doctor may decide to reduce the size of your ariola based on how much of a reduction he gives you and how their size works in relation to how it looks on your new breast size.

All The Best,
Audrey

I do think that you would qualify for breast reduction covered by your health insurance. However, You are so young and if you are thinking of children as a possibility some day surgery is probably not the best option. A breast reduction is not permanent. The size of the breast will still change with weight loss, weight gain, and pregnancy. With a breast reduction you do risk loosing nipple sensation, and the ability to breast feed some day. I would give yourself a few months of diet an exercise first to see if the breast size is reduced with weight loss. For women every 6-8 pounds should be a reduction in pant size and should reduce your cup size. Hope this helps.
