Sometimes this is covered by insurance. A cosmetic indication may simply be the desire to have breast volume that is more proportional to your body size.

Complex decision: The decision to undergo breast reduction is usually based on a desire to reduce the symptoms of large breasts which include back/shoulder pain or numbness, intertrigo erythema, yeast infections, or any symptoms related to the large size of the breasts. On passion this may be performed on a more elective basis for cosmetic concerns.

You should get a breast reduction if your breast size already causes you a few problems. Many women complain of back, shoulder, or hand pain. They also suffer from poor quality of sleep. Rashes around the breast area are also common. If you suffer from issues of body image or any issues mentioned earlier, you may consult with a board-certified surgeon to know more about the procedure.
