I have really large breast that I love however they cause a lot of pain to my neck and back. Also I have really deep indentions in my shoulders from my bra straps. Is it possible for my insurance to pay for a breast lift?

Answer: Breast reduction The answer is that this depends on your insurance policy. Some policies do not cover breast reductions at all, and some do but with certain parameters. This may be based on your weight and height, the amount of breast tissue you need reduced, and sometimes they even require photos and documentation from your plastic surgeon to be authorized. I suggest calling your insurance company to find out if this surgery is covered by your policy. If not, I suggest seeing a BC plastic surgeon to see what the costs of the surgery would be.

Answer: Pain related to breasts Insurance companies have criteria for what qualifies for them to cover/pay for a breast reduction. Depending on the insurance company, a certain amount of breast tissue must be removed for it to qualify... this is frequently 500 grams of breast tissue but can vary a good bit. Be sure you request to see comparable before an after pictures of patients similar to you at the time of your consultation so that you and your surgeon are on the same page.
