Corrective Surgery for Unhappy Breast Reduction - Will I Have to Pay?

Usually, if an insurance company pays for a surgery, it will pay for a subsequent corrective procedure. If your insurer denied the revision, then you should appeal the decision. I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the results of your reduction. Without a photograph, it's impossible to comment on your dissatisfaction and provide recommendations for correction but you should certainly see another plastic surgeon if you no longer have confidence in the doctor who performed the operation.

Although you may be unhappy with your surgeon, I suggest you see them again and discuss your results with them. A reputable surgeon will make an earnest effort to try to resolve your concerns. However, please note that you may or may not have to pay for corrective surgery, as payment terms are different for each surgeon.

Insurance Rarely Covers Breast Reduction RevisionInsurance companies in general are only concerned about solving functional problems (e.g back or breast pain, inability to wear clothes or exercise, etc). They are not concerned about cosmetic appearance and it his highly unlikely that they will cover any revisions for this purpose. I would return to your original surgeon who will likely discount his services if this was related to his surgery unless you have lost confidence in your treatment. If so see a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in breast revision surgery.
