I have large breast and after having my kids it sag down. When I take my bra off I feel my breast weighting me down. When I have a bra on The weight does not bother me. I have medicaid insurance and would like to know if there is somewhere I can go in the nyc area to get a breast lift that would be cover under my insurance? I wear a 34 DD size bra.

Answer: Has to be deemed medically necessary The first step is to contact plastic surgeons in your area and see who accepts Medicaid. Set up an appointment for a consultation with that physician to see if it is a breast lift or breast reduction that you are needing. If it is a reduction not a lift then the surgeon can submit a letter to Medicaid stating how many grams of tissue he will be removing and why he feels it is medically necessary to remove the breast tissue. Go prepared by taking all information that will support your case such as past medical information such as chiropractic care due to back pain (due to the heaviness of the breasts) or Doctors notes from past visits regarding fungal infections in the folds of the breasts. If it is only a breast lift that you need insurance will not pay for that procedure.

Answer: Without Medical Problems You Won't Get Covered A breast lift only would be considered cosmetic, although if you have neck, back, or shoulder problems and a very large breast you could get covered.
