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 it too, an A on one side and a D on
the other the large on has a huge areola
and the little one is normal... 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 nice to hear from
someone in the same boat! hope I helped!
