Women with Large Breasts Battling Insurance Companies
Many women that have DD or larger size breasts are complaining about the back problems that they get because of them. The extra weight is difficult for smaller frames to support and they can cause serious neck and lower back aches.
A breast reduction surgery can take these breasts down to a much smaller size and make women much more comfortable and self-confident. However, many insurance companies are refusing to pay for this surgery, claiming that it is entirely cosmetic. Reports have shown that women with large breasts, especially if they are thin, tend to have very serious back problems that may require expensive and painful back surgery.
Also, the insurance industry has set a double standard by saying that several instances of back pain- such as that which occurs following a car crash- are actually caused by breasts. Therefore, the companies seem to be blaming the problem that they refuse to solve. Women have become extremely frustrated with this problem and many are seeking legal counsel about how to deal with their insurance agency.
