Will insurance cover for a revision after it originally covered the breast reduction in full? (Photos)

Asked By:Resourceful2415 in Long Island, NY

I had a breast reduction in March 2018. My surgeon didn’t insert jp drains in surgery and I believe that is why my incisions opened up a week later and were draining. my surgeon didn’t close them back up, instead he recommended aquaphor and to do dressing changes frequently. Now I'm left with these nasty scars 1 year later and my left breast is slightly bigger than the right. I plan on going back to my surgeon.
