Answer: I am a size 34H and looking into breast reduction and wondering what the chances of having Medicaid cover this? None of us can predict what decisions insurance companies will make regarding coverage for BR surgery, what documentation will sway their decision, or the length of the approval process. BRs which are medically necessary (i.e. you suffer back, shoulder, and neck "pain" with DOCUMENTED medical attention over a period of a YEAR) are typically covered by most medical insurance providers. If not, they may try to deny you based upon a lot of things such as lack of symptoms, lack of previous medical management, and lack of enough tissue that should be removed. The insurance companies will dictate the amount of tissue to be removed, not the PS.

Answer: Reduction I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified, Double Fellowship-Trained Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Answer: The Bellesoma Breast Reduction At size 34, each 100 grams removed corresponds to 1 cup size change. Medicaid usually requires a minimum of 500 gram removal, which would put you at a size C. This may be too small a size for you to find acceptable. The traditional breast reduction techniques results in ugly vertical scars, loss of nipple sensation and the inability to breast feed. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevated them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Medicaid does not cover this technique. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
