Hello. I am a 21 years old female and I've recently been told that my breasts are tuberous. I was just wondering to which degree do I fall under? And if my case is severe enough for costs to be covered by Medicare? I've always felt my breasts were weird and different, and always felt embarrassed about them, so it would be great to have them corrected! Is there any chance I will grow out of this? Thankyou!!!

Answer: Breast augmentation candidate? Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another. See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for a Breast Augmentation. Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Tuberous and insurance Thank you for your question and photographs. Tuberous breasts present in different degrees of severity. Three hallmark features of tuberous breasts include enlarged areolas, herniation of breast tissue through the areola, and a constricted base. You may have mildly tuberous breasts, but an in-person examination with a board certified plastic surgeon would be advised. My advice regarding insurance is to communicate directly with your insurance carrier, however, I would not expect this procedure to be covered by insurance. Best of luck.
