Robin T.W. Yuan, MD answers: Will insurance cover revision for uneven Breast reduction results?

I had a Breast reduction done many years ago and have very painful scar tissue as a result of it. My breasts are also 2 VERY different sizes where do you find a bra with a B cup and a C cup : (

Will my insurance pay for this disaster to be corrected?

It doesn't hurt to ask or to try but I doubt it. Some insurance companies will cover reductions and mastopexies under specific conditions so you may get an authorization for the procedure. But be prepared for the insurance company to refuse to pay once they review your surgery, pathology, and photos. Authorization and promise to pay are two independent processes within insurance plans.
