I have polands syndrome and I'm considering implants. Would insurance cover the procedure? Also, is there anything specific to an augmentation for a Poland syndrome patient?

Answer: Insurance It is doubtful that insurance would cover breast augmentation surgery for someone with Poland Syndrome. It is considered cosmetic and therefore rarely covered except in circumstances like breast cancer reconstruction. It never hurts to ask your insurance carrier though just to be sure.

Answer: Surgery Contact your insurance company and see what is covered. If covered, you will need a referral from your primary care physician. Most patients are able to get implants placed in front of the muscle on the opposite side since the muscle does not exist or is very minimal on the affected side. Occasionally, a muscle from the back can be rotated around, but that will leave a scar on your back and missing a muscle.
