Can liposuction of the flanks and stomach be paired with a breast reduction that will be covered by insurance?

Hi.  It is fairly common to add on a cosmetic procedure to an insurance covered procedure, but you need to obviously discuss all that with your surgeon.  They can typically help you figure out beforehand what component of the operating room and anesthesia cost that you are responsible for.  Good luck and take care, Dr. Howell

The liposuction can be done at the same time as the insured reduction mammoplasty, but as I'm sure you know, the liposuction will not be paid by insurance. The anesthesia and operating expense may also be prorated by the insurance company.However, you will have one recovery time, and if you want a liposuction, this would be a good time providing you are a good candidate for the procedure.Thank you for your question, and good luck.

Yes, this is possible and done frequently. The operative report shows the separation of the procedures so that the liposuction will be your responsibility for the surgeon fees, anesthesia, and operating room charges. Discuss this with your surgeon. Good luck.
