Rash/sores from Very Saggy Breasts? Possible for Insurance to Cover Lift? (No Reduction)

My breasts are small and extemely saggy.(After breastfeeding 3 children) They are literally only hanging skin. When I wear a bra they kind of just roll/crumple up into the bra. It is causing me to have weepy,oozing painful areas on my areolas from the skin rubbing on skin. Is it possible that insurance might cover a lift, no implants or anything, just to remove some of the extra loose skin, since it is causing me sores and pain? Or are they likely to call it cosmetic? Thank you very much?

A: Saggy breasts and rash

In my experience I have never seen an insurance company cover a breast lift for any reasons. Even coverage for reductions is based on height and weight normograms.

Hard Painful Breast with Fat Necrosis After Lift - What to Do?

I had a breastlift 3 months ago and experienced necrosis. I lost my nipple but it has grown back with the exception of one side that has a dime size open wound. BUT the entire breast is hard and painful, the wound is being packed with gauze and sterile water/blech-its tracks 4" down and 2" to the side. My certified board plastic surgeon says it is fat necrosis. The wound leaks a yellowish liquid with horrible odor. How long do i continue this treatment or do we need to surgicaly remove this?

A: Hard breast after a lift

Hardness after a breast lift with compromised blood flow to the nipple is not unusual. The Niplle necrosis is a sign of decreased blood flow that probably affected other areas of the breast. As the fat cells die they release their contents which cause an inflammation and calcification- hardness. The situation will correct itself with the treatment you are undergoing with dressing changes as administered by your surgeon. It will a little time but in the end the hardness will go away!

Do my Breasts Appear to Have "Settled" Too Low?

I had a BL/BA in mid-March 2011. I'm concerned that my breasts are too low and lack upper pole fullness. I have a follow-up with my doctor in a week and am wondering how to approach the subject or if I'm simply being unrealistic? What could be done to address my concerns at this point?

A: breast lift

You will always get some bottoming out- that is the nature of the process. You have an excellent result.
