Is it possible to get my insurance to cover a breast reduction procedure? Has anyone done this before? What are the restrictions?

True, breast reduction can be covered in full, or partially by your insurance if you have associated back/ neck problems. It is always best to try weight loss first, but if weight is not an issue, you can usually get a plastic surgery consultation for free, or start by consulting with your family practitioner

Reduction mammoplasty, either surgery or lipectomy, proportionately re-sizes the enlarged, sagging breasts of a woman afflicted either with macromastia (<500 gm increase per breast) or with gigantomastia (<1,000 gm increase per breast). Breast reduction surgery has two technical aspects: (i) the skin-incision pattern and the skin- and glandular-tissue excision technique applied for access to and removal of breast tissue. The incision pattern and the area of skin-envelope tissue to be removed determine the locales and the lengths of the surgical scars; the final shape and contour of the reduced breast are determined by the area of the tissues remaining in the breast, and that the skin- and glandular-tissue. The specific reduction mammoplasty procedure is determined by the volume of breast tissues to be resected (cut and removed) from each breast, and the degree of breast ptosis present.
