Bellasoma Option: Insurance Coverage Possibility for Breast Reduction?

Thanks for your question! It would be easier to give a recommendation if you shared photos. Without seeing them, I can't give an exact answer, but given the volume of your breasts (then and now), I would probably recommend a full breast lift or reduction with wise pattern. I know the scars are a concern, but we have scar gel, silicone sheeting, lasers, micro needling, etc to hopefully get you great scars. Good luck!

I am Gary Horndeski and I developed The Bellesoma Method. I do breast reductions but do not accept insurance. Insurance companies set the bar quite high requiring large amounts of breast tissue to be removed. We have tried in the past to get insurance to cover this technique and have had no luck. The operation takes 4-5 hours and the cost is $15,000. This technique will reduce and reshape the breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

It is unlikely your insurance will cover a breast reduction using the Bellsoma method, but there is no harm in contacting them to ask. An examination is needed to determine what other options you have based on the status of your breasts and your surgical goals.
