Yes, breast reductio: This is 1 of the most common plastic surgery procedures, known as breast reduction or reduction mammaplasty. Often covered by insurance comp if the right criteria are met. These depend on insurance company, but some criteria include neck, back and shoulder pain from excessive breast tissue including shoulder grooving from bras. Also more than 500g of excess breast tissue. Consult a plastic surgeon.

Breast Reduction: Also known as reduction mammoplasty, this is an operation intended to reduce the size of a woman’s breasts and improve their shape and position. Frequently, the areola (dark skin around the nipple) is also made smaller. For more info: http://www.pacificcenterplasticsurgery.com/breast-procedures-newport-beach/reduction/
