For women who suffer from large, pendulous breasts that are disproportionate to the rest of their body, a Breast Reduction is a solution that may be covered by your medical insurance. Women with large breasts may have symptoms of back, neck, and shoulder pain, headaches, breast pain (especially with exercise), and rashes along the folds of the breasts. Dense breast tissue may also make breast cancer surveillance procedures, such as mammograms and ultrasounds, difficult to interpret.

You may be a good candidate for a breast reduction if you experience the following: breast pain, shoulder pain, neck pain, upper back pain, intertrigo, poor posture, finger and hand numbness, shoulder notching from your bra strap, ptosis of the breasts, nipple discharge, fibrocystic breasts, breast masses, and a persistent rash beneath the breasts. Patients may consider a breast reduction if their breasts restrict them from activity such as exercising, participating in sports, or playing with their children.
