BOOBIES LOOKING GOOD !!! - Maryland

You look amazing, I love your recent pics, you look so beautiful and self confident! I'm happy you took the plunge when you were young! When I was your age, there weren't any good sources of info (late 80s/early 90s), so I couldn't get a good picture of what I'd be in for! I'm finally doing it after 20+ years of wanting it (34G? I'm 5'2")

Hello Vivianne! Your post gives me hope! I'm just starting the process of searching for a surgeon and requesting consultations. I too have Priority Partners and I'm concerned about the "hoops". I'm 38, 5'7 about 160lbs and currently a 36DDD. I am lucky enough to have backing by my Chiropractor. I'm just curious what their "guidelines" are and what they consider "medically necessary"

Hi, when I met my surgeon two years ago, for an initial consultation, I didn't have anything. You have your chiropractic. I called the insurance and asked if they cover breast reduction. They answered yes if is "medically necessary" so they referred me to a surgeon. My surgeon was skeptical because she said I might not get approved because I have nothing to prove like physical therapy to at least ease the pain. She wanted me to wait and go see a PT so the insurance can see that I tried other method before resulting to breast reduction. Anyways long story short, I didn't listen to her. I told her to file. She took pictures of my breast and send it to the insurance. Three days later I myself called priority partners to find out and bang I was approved. So in my case my breast size was all they needed to see to see that it is medically necessary. If you wanna have some backup before you apply then is fine. It increases your chances. But my advice is call the insurance to locate you a surgeon, and reason with the surgeon to put it good words for you so they can see that is really medically necessary. The cost was about $11, 200 and it was covered 100% at holy Cross hospital. Have faith and good luck!

I have been back and forth on your page for about a year. I'm glad that you have had success with your reduction. I have just started my mission to get mines. Like you I have priority partners. I saw my doctor yesterday, and before I even took my bra off he said "Yea, you need a reduction" LOL! He examined me and said it felt like I was carrying 10lbs on my chest. And it surely feel like it. Anyway he wrote my referral and gave me a prescription for some strong Motrin. I contacted PP as soon as I got home, and they told me he need to call in to let them know that this is definitely needed. So he told me to come back tomorrow, so we can do this together. They also said that they needed pictures to show. I figured once they see the pics and how my breast are close to my belly button at the age of 30, they will approve. I also have grooves in my shoulders. I'm pretty anxious, my appt with a plastic surgeon who takes the insurance is about 3 weeks. So I hope things go well. I would like to get mines done ASAP, because I just got into running and my breast have hindered me so much. Not only that I'm a parent, so the sooner the better. Mines is definitely medically necessary. I have a small paper trail of discussing the issue when I was 17 with a dr.. Getting xrays in my 20's for my back and then now. So fingers crossed!!! I'm determined!
