5'9" 150lbs and 34e breasts. for years i've had back pain and horrible rashes under my breasts. nothing helps. would i be a candidate for reduction?

Possibly: Most insurance companies base coverage on the Schnur Nomogram that uses Body Surface Area to calculate grams of tissue to be removed. You are 1.82 sq M BSA, so to qualify you would need to have 441 or more grams removed from each breast. Only a board-certified Plastic Surgeon can assess whether or not this would provide an acceptable result. Suggest you schedule a consult. Thanks.
