Breast Reduction Surgery

Breast Reduction is one of the most rewarding plastic surgery procedures I perform. While the Reduction Mammoplasty is a procedure that often provides aesthetic improvement, it is more commonly performed to reduce the symptoms associated with large breasts.

Reasons For Breast Reduction Surgery

Each patient is different, so Breast Reduction is customized to your specific needs. The most common reasons for Reduction Mammoplasty are:

• Breast pain
• Neck pain
• Back pain
• Shoulder pain
• Bra strap shoulder rutting
• Recurrent rashes under the breasts
• Inability to perform routine activities of daily living
• Limitations on physical activity

Often, documentation of these types of symptoms is required for insurance coverage.

The amount of elevation is easy to measure, just look at the position of the breast with respect to elbows in the above pictures.

Will Insurance Cover My Breast Reduction?

Your insurance may cover Breast Reduction. To find out, contact your insurance company directly. You may be required to see your primary doctor for authorization, be required to lose weight, undergo weeks to months of physical therapy, see only a plastic surgeon chosen by your insurance, wait a year and other hurdles. Letters from your primary doctor, physical therapist and chiropractor can help in obtaining prior authorization. Sadly, despite the tremendous amount of relief that comes from the procedure, many insurance companies have begun excluding coverage for Reduction Mammoplasty altogether.
