Is there a possibility of Heath Insurance covering breast reduction?

Question

I'm curious about this because i have been cursed with these things. =P I'm hoping to lose a good portion of them with the rest of my weight i need to lose, but i know it won't be much. I just want to go down to a nice DDD or something. I have constant back pain and dents in my shoulders from my bra. That's another thing, i can't find bras that fit anywhere. >:(

Answer 1

it depends on where you are. In Ontario, where I am, it is covered by OHIP for health problems only, not astetic reasons. And depending on your body type and size once you get to your goal weight you might even want to go smaller. I have the same problems as you, but I am usually a DD. I lost weight at the beginning of my pregnancy and went down to a large D but went back to a DD once my breasts got engorged, they pretty much stayed there since, just not hard like rocks anymore, thank goodness. My son will be 2 on friday and they haven't changed in size except in fullness since engorgement went away, I couldn't breastfeed so that didn't help either.

Answer 2

Breast Reduction surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.

Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Answer 3

call your health insurance and ask, tell them its a real problem, then if they say you need a doctor to back you up on it go and see someone for that specific request, good luck.

Answer 4

Only if a doctor suggests it as treatment and a cure for you back pain.
