Corrective Surgery for Unhappy Breast Reduction - Will I Have to Pay?

Although you may be unhappy with your surgeon, I suggest you see them again and discuss your results with them. A reputable surgeon will make an earnest effort to try to resolve your concerns. However, please note that you may or may not have to pay for corrective surgery, as payment terms are different for each surgeon.

Insurance Rarely Covers Breast Reduction RevisionInsurance companies in general are only concerned about solving functional problems (e.g back or breast pain, inability to wear clothes or exercise, etc). They are not concerned about cosmetic appearance and it his highly unlikely that they will cover any revisions for this purpose. I would return to your original surgeon who will likely discount his services if this was related to his surgery unless you have lost confidence in your treatment. If so see a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in breast revision surgery.

Thank you for the question.

Assuming your original surgeon is a well experienced board certified plastic surgeon,  I would suggest that you continue to follow-up with him/her  and calmly ( and in a non-accusatory fashion) communicate your concerns and goals. Most plastic surgeons are very eager to keep their patients as happy as possible. Persistence with your insurance company may be helpful as well.

Best wishes.
