Newport Beach Breast Reduction doctors

Jordan: Prior to choosing surgery, get in touch with what you want, can afford and weigh the possible risks you may be exposed to.  You are very precise and insightful in your assessment: 1) you developed early and abundantly; 2) weight loss doesn't affect your breast size; c) your ptosis (sag) is related to early pregnancy.  Generally, insurance companies will cover breast reduction if you can demonstrate musculoskeletal, dermatological conditions, interference with activities of daily living.  Your height and weight are ideal, however your insurance company may insist that your surgeon remove a certain amount of tissue per side, which may not ultimately leave you with the volume and shape breasts you want or deserve.  

Breast lifts which are cosmetic and paid for by the patient allow you greater input on the eventual outcome, i.e. size, shape, etc.  Additionally, you should consider whether you have completed your family, as pregnancy is a "wild card", which will alter any breast reshaping procedure you may choose.  Good luck. 

Trisha: Your daughter has the full spectrum of musculoskeletal and dermatological complaints, which are considered by insurance for coverage.  Her height and weight are "close" to BMI (Body Mass Index) criteria.  I would urge you to get your family physician involved in writing letters supporting her case.  Review your insurance plan's requirements for a) weight of breast tissue/side which must be removed; b) documentation of "failure" of nonsurgical modalities, such as Physical Therapy, Chiropracter treatments, use of supportive bras.  Some insurance companies have set the bar very high, stipulating 700gm/side, which would probably make her smaller than desired.  Other companies will be more stringent on establishing that weight loss will resolve her symptoms.  Communicate well with your daughter and get prepared to be her advocate.  Good luck.
