Is it possible for my age and breast size to have a breast reduction covered by the RAMQ?

Question

Hello, I have had a lot of back pain for about a year now. In addition, my shoulders are leaning more and more forward. I realized that for the last two years, my breasts have grown abnormally. What I mean is that I went through puberty early, around the age of 12, and all through high school my breasts grew, but at a normal rate, and their size was stable. However, since taking my first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine (June 2, 2021), I have gone from a C to an E bra cup. As my breasts get larger, my back pain increases. My breasts are becoming more and more of a hindrance in my daily life.

Hello Mrs, Some surgeries are covered by the RAMQ if they are not for cosmetic purposes under certain conditions. In order to adequately manage your situation, you will need to consult a physician in order to benefit from a thorough evaluation of your condition. Some measures may be recommended, such as physiotherapy, but it is impossible to address this type of situation on this platform because a physical evaluation is required. I therefore recommend that you consult a physician to begin the process. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
