I read that there is potential to get some of the procedure covered by Medicare if they are :)
Answer: Breasts No, you do not have tuberous breast, but do have some sagging. No, Medicare will not cover elective cosmetic surgery.

Answer: No medicare coverage; Straightforward augmentation should provide a good result Unfortunately, surgeons have created the term tuberous breasts, a fact which causes unnecessary concerns for women. Many women just have different sizes and shapes and in my opinion shouldn't be labeled. I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Tuberous breast health care coverage Hello, thank you for your question. Certain private health insurances in the states will cover this type of surgery. Especially if it causes discomfort such as difficultly finding supportive bras that fit the breast shape. I would consider consulting with a plastic surgeon, they would have take photos, submit it to the insurance company for approval. It maybe partially covered but something to consider. Certainly in Canada the universally funded health care system would not cover those costs.

Answer: Tuberous breast Hello. I can't appreciate the photo well, it's a bit dark. But most plastic surgery is not covered by Medicare or other heath insurance .However, plastic surgery that is performed for reconstructive purposes, rather than cosmetic, may be partially covered insurers. Breast augmentation for a patient with tuberous breasts may fall into this category. I'm going to suggest that you have a proper consultation with a plastic surgeon.
