Answer: SECONDARY / CORRECTIVE BREAST REDUCTION? I am sorry to hear that you suffered major complications after your breast reduction and that therefore the cosmetic result is disappointing, requiring further surgery. I agree with Dr Pousti that the best and more appropriate way to proceed now will be for you to see a qualified, experienced plastic surgeon to evaluate your choices and chances of success with secondary surgery. Best of luck.Andrea Marando, Manchester, UK

Answer: Secondary Breast Reduction and Insurance It could be possible for insurance to cover revisions for breast reduction surgery. It all depends on your specific coverage. The first step would be to find a board certified plastic surgeon who accepts your insurance and whom you would feel comfortable with. His/her office would then send a letter and pictures in to your insurance requesting approval. You will more than likely have some out of pocket expense depending on your personal deductible.

Answer: Breast reduction revisions Hello and thank you for your excellent question. Based on your photos, I suggest that you consult with a surgeon to revise your reduction. There are a number of options available to you, including scar revisions, breast lift, fat grafting, and/or implant augmentation. Preoperative visualization and surgical simulation with the Crisalix system may help with your decision. Any treatment plan should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation in person with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!
