Breast reduction and insurance coverage

Jeffrey E. Schreiber, MD answers: Breast reduction after pregancy

hi i'm a 21-year-old-mother who gave birth over 14-months ago,my problem is that i always had an a-cup breast and during my pregnancy my breast changed to a c-cup and stayed that way. i never felt back pain until my pregnancy and now a year later its still there. hypothetically i drew the conclusion it's my breast after reviewing diffrent stories. because my back,neck and sholders are hurting and my breast is so heavy. do you think my insurance company would cover it even though i'm not a d-cup? (i included a pic) thanks in advance dana321

Hi dana321 - All insurance companies are different concerning their policy on covering a breast reduction.  Have your plastic surgeon look at your specific insurance plan to determine whether or not you meet the criteria.  This can be grams of tissue removed or simply pre-authorization with photos and medical letters.  However, from your photo is appears as though you may not be a candidate for a breast reduction, but again it's difficult to determine from a photo only.   Good luck!
