Do I have Tubular Breast? And will Medicaid pay? (photos)

Question

Hello I was wondering if my breast are tubular? And I wanted to know if medicaid will cover it and how does that process work? I have no confidence what so ever about my breast. My nipples are always puffy and they've been like this for years. Please someone let me know the process and if I have tubular breast. If I do have tubular breast will the process to get them done be a little more different and will my healing time take longer? Will my nipples stay puffy after the surgery?

You do not have tubular breasts. You have ptosis of the breast. An option would be a breast lift this procedure is not covered by insurance. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.Regards.

You have a ptotic breast but not tubular based on your photos.  You need either a breast lift or breast lift with augmentation.  Unfortunately, Medicaid does not cover this type of cosmetic surgical procedure.

Thank you for your question and photos. It does appear from the photos that you have tubular breasts. Unfortunately insurance does not cover surgery to correct this, as it is considered cosmetic. I would recommend that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to review your options and get an idea on cost. Best of luck, Dr. Kludt

Hello, Thank you for our question. It does appear that you may have tubular breasts. Insurance doesn't cover for this procedure, at this time. I'd recommend booking a consultation
with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to determine what your options would be.
Take care.

you don't have tubular breasts, and no medicare would not pay for it even if you did have tubular breasts.   What you have is breasts that are sagging and the best option would be to get a lift and if you like to get more volume then use an implant at the same time.
