" After years of back pain, Im thinking of having a breast reduction. Will insurance cover it? Insurance companies will often cover a breast reduction if you can prove its medically necessary, which it might be for you: Large, pendulous breasts pull at the shoulders, causing pain and shoulder grooving, and skin-on-skin contact in the breast crease can lead to yeast and fungal infections and skin eruptions. More than 100,000 women a year undergo this procedure, so if your breasts are causing problems, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Send your health questions to askthedoctors@redbookmag.com. Andrew Ordon, M.D., is a plastic surgeon and cohost of the syndicated talk show The Doctors. (Check your local listings for times.)
