Answer: Insurance sometimes covers breast reduction if there is a functional problem. Covers for breast reduction varies from policy to policy. Anytime it is covered the insurance company will want to know what functional advantage will come from the operation. There are other components such as the anticipated amount of tissue removal that goes into the formula for determining coverage.

Answer: Coverage for breast reduction Thanks for your question and photos. From your photograph you appear to have large breasts that are very long and pendulous. An in-person exam would be necessary, but if you have the typical complaints of pain (shoulder, back, and neck) you would likely be a very good candidate for a breast reduction. With regards to insurance coverage, this will vary widely between different insurance companies. Typically I will dictate a letter describing the symptoms and include photographs to demonstrate the problem. There are formulas that some companies use to determine how much breast tissue mush be removed. Please seek out a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation to help determine if you meet criteria. Out of pocket price will vary depending on where you live, but in Fort Worth I would estimate a total cost in the range of $6,000-8000. Good lucik.

Answer: I'm 5'3 and I wear a size 38D but interested in getting a Breast Reduction. Do you think insurance will cover me? Thank you for the question and pictures. If you feel that your breasts are disproportionately large for your torso, you may be an excellent candidate for breast reduction surgery. This operation tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform. Unfortunately, online consultants will not be very helpful when it comes to predicting whether a specific person's insurance company will provide coverage for the procedure. Ultimately, in person consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons will be your first/best step. Make sure that he/she can show you lots of examples of outcomes you would be pleased with. It may also be helpful to talk to previous patients as well. Then, it will be important for you to communicate your goals carefully. In my practice, I find the use of visual aids (goal photos and/or computer imaging), as opposed to the use of terms such as “the cup” or “natural”, most helpful. I hope this, and the attached link, helps. Best wishes.

Answer: Breast reduction insurance coverage Dear Goddess,Insurance coverage for breast reduction varies with the plan and policy that you carry. Consultation with an American Board of Plastic Surgery board certified plastic surgeon can start the process going for you. You may want to contact your insurance carrier directly first to see if the surgery is covered under your plan and what requirements they have if any. Good luck!
