From the dimensions of your breasts and the limitations and symptoms they impose on you it is reasonable to assume that your insurance would cover your breast reduction procedure. However, that is not how insurance works. Each insurance plan has a "menu" of covered and uncovered services. The plans that have the most covered "benefits" also cost the most. So having "insurance" does not mean you have great medical insurance. Your plan may or may not have breast reduction benefits. If it does not, it makes no difference if you have huge painful breasts which would benefit from a breast reduction. Since you / your employer did not pay to have breast reduction benefits, your insurance company will not pay for such surgery regardless of its potential benefit to you.
You can look at your policy book and see if you have breast reduction benefits. If you do pick a Plastic surgeon who accepts your plan and see him. He/she will advise you on your options.
Good Luck.
How Long Prior to Breast Reduction Surgery Would You Roccomend Your Patient to Be off a Weight Loss/appetite Suppressant Med Lik
Various appetite supression medications may react poorly with the medications given during anesthesia. It is best to tell your Plastic surgeon EVERYTHING you take, prescription, over the counter, vitamins and supplements. Some may cause you to bleed longer. Others will interact with the anesthesia medications. You should be off Aspirin, Advil, Alleve and like drugs for 3-4 weeks before surgery. Off birth control pills for a month before surgery (to reduce the rate of blood clots) and off diet pills for 4-5 days before surgery. Check with your surgeon.
I am beginning the first step and I am going to see the surgeon next week. I was wondering how small can my size ff breasts be reduced
There are no limitations on how small breasts can be made as long as the blood supply to the nipple complex is maintained OR the nipple complex is transferred as a graft. I am not familiar with the Irish health care system and if my Irish colleagues are required to remove a minimum amount of breast tissue if the operation is paid for by your health insurance, they way we are in the US. In the US, each insurance has different criteria for how much breast weight has to be removed, but most require removal of at least 500 grams (1.1 pounds) from each breast.
