Breast reduction?

Question

I have kasier permenente insurance and I am currently a 42DDD and I am only 19 years old. I would like to get a breast reduction but they say that I have to lose 30 pounds and I have been trying for a year. I am currently 198 pounds. I don't know what else to do becuase I have to get a referral from my doctor to go to an surgeon inorder for my insurance to cover it. Please help me..

Answer 1

Talk to your doc about possible diet plans to lose the weight, they should be able to refer you to a nutritionist.

If you want to get started, here are some things you can try...

Drink a gallon of water a day.

Replace breakfast and lunch with a protein shake and eat a balanced high protein dinner.

Reduce your carbs and cut out sugar and soda.

Get some sleep and take your vitamins.

This modified "liquid" diet should help you to lost the weight pretty quickly just due to the sheer lack of calories, once you get the surgery, you can start to ease back into a normal diet.

Good luck and I hope this helps! :-)

Answer 2

to the person who said lose the 30 pounds...maybe she is just not able to do that. if she is a triple d then that obviously is where all the weight is going to. i am sceduled to have the same surgery next month and i am a 38dd and i am 18. and about the same weight as u r. u might want to c another doctor. 2nd and 3rd opnions r good to have. i also know that the type of insurance u have depends too on whether or not u have to jump through a lot of loops. maybe ur insurance isnt so good.

Answer 3

ive had a breast reduction! i think i was 19 also at the time. my insurance paid, i never went 2 a dr. i went straight 2 the surgeon and they sent it n and said there was bra indentions on my shoulders, that was enough 4 them 2 say it caused back pain. it was the best decision ive ever made! this was 9yrs ago.

Answer 4

Go to your doctor complaining of back pain. Keep trying to lose the weight. And keep complaining. They finally refereed my cousin for the breast reduction.

Answer 5

Breast reduction surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Tour2india4health Consultants .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.

Tour2india4health Consultants is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
