Breast reduction Relieves Neck pain and Improves shape in Raleigh, NC*

This 34-year-old woman wore a 34 J cup bra and suffered from neck pain, upper back pain, shoulder pain as well as rashes under her breasts. Many patients attempt to go through insurance to get coverage, but this is a long process and requires evaluation by a chiropractor or physical therapist with documentation of 3- 6 months of treatment, documentation of weight loss, evidence of use of support bras and even documentation that you have been prescribed antifungals for intertrigo (fungal rashes under the breasts). Even after these measures, insurance companies frequently will not approve or require a certain amount of tissue to be removed which may not match the desired future cup size, The problem with this approach is that none of these measures would ever reduce the size of disproportionate breasts. In the Triangle, many plastic surgeons have stopped accepting insurance for breast reduction. Many women end up gaining weight in an unconscious effort to "hide" their large breasts.
