Rash/sores from Very Saggy Breasts? Possible for Insurance to Cover Lift? (No Reduction)

Insurance plans do not cover breastlift despite the fact that you may have symptoms that are identical to a woman pursuing breast reduction, which often is covered by insurance (as long as the requested amount of tissue is removed, determined by the insurance company). I see many patients who have lost significant weight resulting in symptomatic sagging and deflation of the breasts. In my experience, insurance plans do not pay for a lift or implants, but you should explore the procedure if you are interested. It may be that it's not as expensive as you think, and financing may be available. Would you rather spend money on a vacation or on yourself, for results that will last you the rest of your life, beyond 1 week of pleasure? That is one way to look at the question practically.

I'm afraid your insurance provider will not go for a medically needed breast lift. You can certainly attempt at having it approved by having your primary care physician document ptotic breasts as the primary cause for your skin issues. Document, document, document!

If unsuccessful with this quest, look into finacing a lift yourself. The Ultimate Breast Lift is a technique that will lift and reshape extremely ptotic breasts without implants. There is no vertical scar associated with this technique and it works for all breast types. Good luck and best wishes, Dr. H
