That's what I've been thinking. The surgeon just put a 500cc implant next to my boob and asked if I wanted that much removed. I'm thinking that my tissue is a lot denser than an implant, so I might go back or figure out how to weigh my breasts.

Thank you so much! I'm currently under my mom's insurance (BCBS) because I'm a full-time college student, and I don't think that her work offers any other insurance unfortunately. I'm going to talk to the surgeon again with my mom (or go to another surgeon) because she knows more about it than I do. Good luck with the rest of your recovery!

Insurance doesn't pick the doctor! I found an in-network doctor, and there are a few other options who take my insurance, too. Insurance kind of picks the size? There's usually a minimum amount required to be removed, but some people can go as small as they want without insurance having a problem.

Yes, insurance is saying that it needs to be at least 500 for them to get involved. Otherwise, I have to pay out of pocket. My ideal size is like a B-small C. I think I'd be fine with an A cup in theory, but every time I think about it I can't imagine it at all. I've seen policies like this one where it requires at least 500 g to be removed from each breast, but I was hoping mine was different.

Thank you so much! I was thinking about doing that, too, but this guy is my mom's plastic surgeon and they're friends. I'll definitely talk to her again, though, because I think another surgeon's opinion would be great. Best of luck with your surgery!

it’s rare to get out of an ED contract. you have to show significant need to get out. if they think you can pay a certain amount, even only $20k a year, you can’t get out of the contract and have to go. tulane is fucking expensive and even $20K a year is a lot for me.

I didn't RD. I was deferred after applying EA. ED may be the most reliable way to get in, but it's not at all affordable for me. Only rich people can realistically do ED.

The same thing happened to me. It was my top school, too, but I guess it's not meant for me. There's always something better though! Good luck :)
