Answer: Insurance covers breast revision? The short answer is: Possible but unlikely as Insurance Rarely Covers Breast Reduction RevisionInsurance companies in general are only concerned about solving functional problems (e.g back or breast pain, inability to wear clothes or exercise, etc). They are not concerned about cosmetic appearance and it his highly unlikely that they will cover any revisions for this purpose. I would return to your original surgeon who will likely discount his services if this was related to his surgery unless you have lost confidence in your treatment. If so see a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in breast revision surgery. Only an exam would be able to determine the technique best suited for your revision#breastreduction#breastrevision

Answer: Do insurance companies cover revision for breast reduction? Thank you for your question and I am sorry to hear about the disappointment with your breast reduction. You are still early out from surgery and best to allow 6months to a year pass in order for your results to mature. This allows your skin quality to regain its normal suppleness and tone, allows for any residual swelling to resolve, and your scar tissue time to soften. This will make revision surgery easier, safer, and with greater reproducibility of results. As far as coverage, I would recommend you see an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation. They can submit information on your behalf to your insurance company to see if your revision would be covered.

Answer: Revision breast reduction This is a very difficult question. The only way to know if your insurance will cover the procedure would be to submit a pre-authorization. I would give you your first breast reduction at least six months to heal. Seek second opinions from other plastic surgeons.

Answer: Breast reduction revision First, you need more healing tine before a determination can be made on whether revision is necessary. Next, it all depends on the insurance company. In New York, where we have so many plastic surgeons, the insurers seem to be much tougher on reductions in general than in other parts of the country. Using the "functional medical necessity" standard, the revision may not be covered but each carrier is different and it would require preauthorization.

Answer: Breast Reduction Revision I am so sorry that you aren't happy with your results. First, wait at least 6 months before considering breast reduction revision surgery. Then, yes, seek a consultation with another board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss your options. Then, call your insurance company and see if they would cover and if so, what exact criteria would need to be met. Best, Dr. Nazarian
