Breast Reduction

How would I go about getting a breast reduction due to back pain, and neck pain. I have had large breasts since middle school and I'm now in my fourth year of college and I just can't take the pain.

Procedure: Breast Reduction
Location: Ridgewood, NY

Plastic Surgical consultation to evaluate your symptoms and physical findings would be the first step. Often insurance will cover medically necessary breast reduction.

Hello,

I would suggest finding someone near you who performs breast reduction regularly. Then, set up a virtual or in person consultation through their website. After this visit, the doctor will submit a letter to your insurance company on your behalf and once it’s approved, you can schedule the surgery.

Thank you for sharing your question. First, check with your insurance carrier that a reduction is a covered expense and ask what are the criteria for coverage. Once done, schedule a consultation with an ASPS board certified surgeon.

Many times insurances may help with this surgery. I would recommend that you send photos to drdomanskis@surgery-plastic.com. Then we could set up a complimentary Zoom/Facetime/Skype/Whatsup visit. Dr. Ed Domanskis
