Breast Augmentation During Cyst Removal?

Most plastic surgeons can remove benign  lesions at the same time as performing breast augmentation. However, I would not suggest removing these lesions if their removal would result in a deformity.   Keep in mind also, that the lesion must be large enough to be felt during the procedure.

Your question regarding insurance coverage is best addressed to the specific health insurance company involved.

Hello ~

In straightforward cases, it is reasonable and within the standard of practice to concomitantly perform a cyst removal and breast augmentation. The cyst removal may be covered by your insurance, depending on the insurance carrier and your clinical condition. The breast augmentation will not be covered by insurance.

Best of luck ~

Some cysts can be removed at the same time as breast augmentation.  You'd need to check with your surgeon.  As far as insurance, they should pay for removing the cyst which hould also be properly submitted for pathologic exam.  They will not, however, pay for your augmentation.
