Lift or Reduction? Insurance coverage for either?

Question

Back in high school I was a large 36DDD thought about a breast reduction because i was constantly experiencing back pain. But it was suggested to me that I lose weight first. So I did.

Now, while I am still a 36DD alot of it is excess skin. I am a 23 year old with the breats of a 93 year old. But they are still very large and very heavy and I am still having very bad back problems with horrible posture because I am so front heavy.

Now here is my question.... Do I still need a breast reduction or would I need a breast lift now because of the excess skin? I dont fully know what a breast lift is... but someone told me that it was closer to what I needed now... and if I do need a lift, does insurance ever cover them for reasons such as back pain, because I know people usually dont get lifts for back pain.

Answer 1

Most plastic surgeons will include a breast lift with the reduction and NOT charge anything extra.

and my insurance covered my breast reduction 100%, though it can vary from 50%-100%.

If you have back problems you would get a reduction with lift.

I had seriously sagging breasts, my nipples were at my belly button and below my belly button (my right breast was much larger than the other).

So I had a reduction and that automatically came with a lift.

Answer 2

if you say the skin is saggy like it is , you need a lift. you really need to do your reserch on that type of operation , see the costs and see if your insurance covers it. the doctor you see will give you the advice you need but make sure to do your research first. good luck!!
