Does insurance ever help a breast reduction? And what's the minimum age for one?

[Anonymous]

Im 21, 5'7" and 125 lbs with 32DD. i hate it.
They hurt, they sag, ew.

Is there any way i could plan on gettinga reduction in the next few years? How much could insurance cover? And would i have to be a certain age?

I wanna go from a DD to a B cup.

Only if for a medical reason. Your bra size for your height and weight do not warrant coverage for breast reduction in most cases. You have to look at your policy, but I would say no.

My cousin is 6 months older than me, my height (5'3), and she had EE size boobs and even then she had to prove they caused some type of medical problem. They went to her navel without a bra on and the insurance company still only covered half. My aunt and uncle picked up the rest of the tab. And she was 19 when she got it.

I doubt it. It depends on the surgeon but getting a reduction is an extremely messy surgery and is relatively difficult. I'm a 34G and they won't give me a reduction, even if I was of age. They need to be severely impacting your life for the insurance to pay for it. Ik medical will pay for it. Stretch, do yoga, and take ibuprofen. It should help a lot

If there is an age requirement, I think you meet it just by being 21, and an adult.
But will insurance cover it? Probably not. It is considered a cosmetic procedure.
Yes, I know, it should be countable as preventative medicine. By reducing them, you reduce stress on your back, making you less likely to pain and injuries as you age.
Sadly, it doesn't work that way.

Possibly. I know a girl that has sleep apena. Although not a imminent health risk the Dr. got it covered for her.
Maybe they can do something like that for your back problems. It may save them money in the future.

It should... I believe you have to have repeat problems... Back problems, rashes under breasts, etc

Have you tried strength training your back muscles? That may solve your problems without surgery.
