Size 40DD Having Issues With Fungus/Yeast Infection - Breast Reduction Needed?

Thank you for the question.

Based on your description you may be a good candidate for breast reduction surgery for physical relief and control of infections.

The best way to obtain insurance coverage for breast reduction surgery involves some “hoops” to jump through. The more documentation you have (for example, from your primary care doctor, physical therapist, chiropractor etc.) the better when it comes to obtaining insurance “authorization” for the procedure.

This documentation and letter/pictures from your plastic surgeon will help you obtain authorization. Make sure you're  working with a well-trained/experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.
 

I hope this helps.

Recurrent rashes under the breasts may qualify your breast reduction for insurance coverage. It is best if you have documentation of seeking medical care for these rashes, such as a doctor's note or a record of prescription medications for the rashes. The strongest criteria for insurance coverage of a breast reduction is a documented history of back pain not responding to other treatments and an operative plan to remove a significant weight of breast tissue per breast (google 'Schnur scale').

If you have reaccuring infections due to your breast size you would be a good canidate for a reduction. Each insurance company is different, but they should cover this procedure. The more documentation you have the better. You should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon and they can write a letter to send to your insurance
