Breast reduction can be completed on any size breast, in any size patient. Unfortunately, insurance only covers breast reduction surgery under limited parameters. If you want a breast reduction, and you are hoping insurance will pay for it, start by talking to your gynecologist or family doctor. If appropriate, they can refer you to a local plastic surgeon. If you plan on paying out of pocket, schedule a plastic surgery consult directly.
