If a woman would like to improve her overall body contour, she certainly has many choices to consider. There are so many surgeries out there that can have a positive influence on overall shape and symmetry of the body. When you meet with a plastic surgeon, you can discuss these body contouring options in greater detail, allowing you to make smart, well-informed decisions about surgical care.
With regard to the breasts and the bustline, it's not just about increasing size. A breast reduction surgery can be very helpful as well, and not just for aesthetics. We'd like to take a few moments right now to consider the surgery and how patients can have breast reduction covered by insurance in certain circumstances.
Breast reduction surgery involves the removal of excess fat, skin, and glandular tissue in order to make the breasts smaller. This helps improve overall body contour and can even be done to address various kinds of medical problems associated with the size of the breasts.
Breast reduction surgery is sometimes performed to address serious aches and pains that are the result of breasts that are too large. In such cases, the excessive weight of the breasts themselves lead to issues with the lower back, and can even cause pain to the shoulder and neck area. These issues in conjunction with the aesthetic matters are often compelling reasons to consider breast reduction surgery.
In certain circumstances, medical insurance will cover the cost of a breast reduction surgery, though certain criteria must be met for patients to qualify. Patients will often need to have their general practitioner cite the size of the breasts as a cause for pain. A plastic surgeon will then need to define a treatment plan and note how much breast tissue will be removed to help alleviate this pain.
Insurance policies and providers all vary with regard to breast reduction surgery. It is of the utmost importance that you contact your insurance provider directly to find out what the requirements are for coverage. You will also be able to ask questions about care as needed.
