Asymmetrical Breasts
Posted: 03-28-08 23:08pm

My breasts are about 2 cup sizes apart and I am considering getting a reduction in the larger breast.

I was wondering if my insurance would cover this and either way how much this would probably cost me.

Where do you live, in some countries such operation can be covered by national health insurance in case of significant difference.

You'd have to call your insurance carrier directly and see if it is covered. We could speculate, but there are many different plans.

So, I would give your insurance carrier a call and see what's up!

asymmetrical breast surgery
Posted: 08-18-08 10:30am

I too have a big discrepancy in breast size and have contemplated reduction of the larger or an implant for the smaller for forever. I also have large areola's which I hate and would like corrected. From my experience most insurance will cover the reduction especially if you "complain of upper back pain from the uneveness" but not an implant. A nurse and doctor told me this. Which is so wierd in my opinion it's a birth defect that although to people who do not have it seems cosmetic but, if I were a breast cancer patient insurance would cover an implant. In my case I am a size A/small B on one side and a full D on the other side. I'd rather go up to the D than down to the A/B I think. Although C's would be perfect but, unattainable. I have breastfed 2 kids and lets just say the girls could use a lift and the smaller one seems deflated. If they could take from one and give to the other it would be perfect! ha! I've never heard of that though. It's also hard to find a plastic surgeon who has seen them and has the experience needed to fix them. Don't just go to the first one you talk to. If you go to the surgeon because you have back pain though it will most definately be covered so call your insurance and ask like that, not just because you want it to look better. Goodluck

I have to wear a stupid 3 pound bra everday XD it really sucks but the cost depends on what the insurance is willing to cover... my specualtions wouldn't help so I would just ask them Smile nice to hear from someone in the same boat! hope I helped!
