Q: Breast Reduction Surgery
asked by: mlheather on March 28th, 2008
New User, Becoming EHEALTHy
My breasts are about 2 cup sizes apart. I m strongly considering the possibility of getting a reduction in the larger breast.

How much would this cost me? Would my insurance cover any of this?

This really depends on the insurance you have and the doctor you go to. I would look up your insurance's phone number and give them a call to ask. Some insurances would cover it if it is deemed necessary to improve you medically (for reasons like a bad back), but I don't think typical insurance would cover it if it were just for aesthetic reasons. Different doctors and clinics charge different prices depending on the amount of work it takes to correct the breast and how long they have been in practice for.

Some doctors will use creative language when billing a procedure to get the insurance company to cover more of the costs. Breast surgery costs vary. There are companies that will work out payment plans for you and they work with doctors that agree to take a set amount of money to do a procedure. Go on line and google it. I hope you are successful with finding help.
