Is It Possible to Get Peri Areolar Reduction Semi Covered Through Insurance?

November 21, 2012

I'm trying to get my insurance to cover part of a peri areolar reduction. I was examined by a surgeon and told I have semi tuberous breasts that can be easily fixed through peri areolar reduction. Tuberous breasts are considered a deformity from what I've read. Should I be looking for a therapist to explain my situation and prove this deformity to be emotionally crippling?
