Answer: Optimizing breast contour after cancer Please provide more details regarding your cancer history (tumor size and position) and treatment (lumpectomy, mastectomy, radiation, chemotherapy etc) as well as standard photos of your breasts (frontal, oblique, and side views). Breast implants are typically high risk in the context of prior radiation therapy. Other strategies like fat grafting may be more appropriate. Insurance is required by law to cover reconstructive breast surgery after cancer. However, appropriate documentation is necessary.

Answer: Implants Yes, insurance is required to cover the costs of reconstruction, including implants. If you desire, most companies also cover surgery on the opposite breast to obtain symmetry. Please go visit with a board certified plastic surgeon or breast surgeon who does reconstruction.

Answer: Insurance coverage Hello, thank you for your question. Yes even with being 7 year after breast mastectomy for cancer reasons insurance should cover it. Im not sure if they will cover all of the costs so you will need to speak to you plastic surgeon. You would have to get pre approval.
