I am 5'1 and a little under 110lbs. I'm 19years old, and my current breast size is 32DDD. My back is countiously hurting, and Im always hunched over due to pain. Is there a way insurance will cover my surgery?
Answer: Insurance coverage for breast reduction With today's insurance plans under the ACA, less and less insurance companies cover breast reduction surgery despite that you may have symptoms such as painful bra strap grooving, neck, shoulder and back pain overly large breasts. However, I suggest contacting your insurance company and asking exactly what is and isn't covered in regards to treating macromastia with a breast reduction. If they do offer coverage then ask for a list of in network providers whom you can then contact to set up an appointment and consultation with to address your

Answer: BCBS Coverage of Breast Reduction Surgery Read your BCBS certificate of coverage. One path does not work for all patients, and many times it is dependent upon your perseverance. Breast reductions which are medically necessary i.e. you suffer back, shoulder, and neck pain with documented medical attention are typically covered by medical insurance. If not, your insurance company may try to deny you based upon a lot of things such as weight, lack of symptoms, and lack of previous medical management. Typically insurance companies required 500 grams (3 cup sizes) from each breast.

Answer: The Bellesoma Method Thank you for you question, The Horndeski Method/The Bellesoma Method is a current technique to lift and/or reduce breasts without using implants or the ugly vertical scars. The incisions are hidden around the areola and in the inframammary crease. The vertical incision has been completely eliminated. The areola incision heals almost invisibly due to the fact that there is hardly any tension on the closure. With this particular technique, ducts are preserved along with nerve supply maintaining nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed. Because the breast is reshaped internally and is secured to your chest muscles, upper pole fullness is possible without an implant. Attached is a patient who underwent The Horndeski Method/The Bellesoma Method. Please note that her tissue was used to create upper pole fullness and cleavage without any foreign materials (mesh, implants, etc). Unfortunately, we do not accept insurance for breast reductions. Dr. Horndeski does not remove enough breast tissue to meet insurance criteria. Instead, he utilizes the breast tissue to reshape the breast. It is a proprietary technique that only surgeons that have been trained by me can perform. I hope this helps. Best wishes and kind regards, Dr. Gary Horndeski
