Am I a candidate for breast reduction?
Asked 2014-01-15
I am 34 years old 4'7 141lbs. I have the mosaic form of Turner's Syndrome. I have a 36DD chest. I have bone deterioration and arthritis in my neck (found 10 years after a car accident but now thinking it could be from my breasts), my upper back is constantly sore and I have indents on my shoulders from my bra straps. I was wondering if I should consider the surgery.

A consult with a BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON will help in making the determination. Your height, weight, bra size, and symptoms make you a candidate for a reduction. The question is will your insurance carrier pay for it? A plastic surgeon will assist you with this.
Of course you must reduce them to avoid all of those symptoms. Try to choose an ASAPS member Plastic surgeon close to you.
