Answer: Breast lift/ Reduction If you have well documented proof that your breast are causing your back issues, and you have incredible insurance, you may be able to have it covered. I recommend calling your insurance company and asking. It is rare that insurance will unless the breast are extremely large or documented issues. As for the cost, it would depend on the complexity of your procedure, skin elasticity, amount of reduction needed, asymmetry corrections, etc. I would call insurance first, then if they cover it, choose a board certified plastic surgeon. If you would like to be seen for a consultation here at Smith Plastic Surgery, reach out to my office to arrange a consultation 702-838-2455

Answer: Heavy breasts Each insurance policy has its own criteria for what it will cover. Insurance does not pay for a breast lift alone, but if you are interested in a breast reduction which includes lifting the breasts, you may qualify. Check with your carrier and schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you.

Answer: It might; depends on how large your breasts are and documentation of medical symptoms. An in person evaluation is needed to determine if what you want and need is cosmetic or reconstructive. Cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author. RealSelf Distinguished Hall of Fame Inductee. Philadelphia, Pa., USA

Answer: Bellesoma Breast Reduction Insurance may pay for breast reduction but they usually require large volume to be removed. You may not meet their criteria. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reduce and reshape your 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 and nipple sensation is maintained. Insurance does not cover this technique and the cost is $14,000.
