Rash/sores from Very Saggy Breasts? Possible for Insurance to Cover Lift? (No Reduction)

Insurance plans do not cover breastlift despite the fact that you may have symptoms that are identical to a woman pursuing breast reduction, which often is covered by insurance (as long as the requested amount of tissue is removed, determined by the insurance company). I see many patients who have lost significant weight resulting in symptomatic sagging and deflation of the breasts. In my experience, insurance plans do not pay for a lift or implants, but you should explore the procedure if you are interested. It may be that it's not as expensive as you think, and financing may be available. Would you rather spend money on a vacation or on yourself, for results that will last you the rest of your life, beyond 1 week of pleasure? That is one way to look at the question practically.

Insurance company would not cover a breast lift based on dermatologic complaints. They will, however, pay for dermatology treatment for the rashes. Insurers have very strict, cause and effect based criteria. Whether they are rational or not, unfortunately, isn't the issue. These criteria result in denials even when there can be underlying medical problems. However, they are now denying breast reductions with infra-mammary intertrigo so a lift would have even lower standing with them.
