Correction of Tuberous Breast Deformities and Insurance

Costs of Breast Surgery

Prices vary from city to city and state to state. I agree that you should go to a few consultations and find a surgeon that you feel comfortable with.

Tuberous breast deformity and insurance

This depends entirely on your insurance plan. Many insurance plans will not cover correction of tuberous breast deformity. Some do, and how much is covered depends upon your individual plan. I suggest calling your insurance company to see if this is covered, and if it is, ask for a list of plastic surgeons who accept your plan. Good luck, /nsn.
