Can my Insurance Pay for Removal of Breast Tissue on Armpit While I Have a Breast Augmentation at the Same Time?

Asked By:Lara_11 in Pleasanton, CA

I have had breast tissue on my left armpit for the past 14 years. Since puberty. It can be very painful (was very painful during pregnancy). I am very thin and it is very visible. I really want that removed and I'm wondering if my insurance can pay for something like that. If so, I am also considering breast augmentation since my B cups lost volume after pregnancy. Could my plastic surgeon do both at the same time if the insurance did pay for it? Since he is a plastic surgeon.
