No. Insurance companies typically dictate how much breast tissue must be removed for your surgery to be deemed medically necessary before they will cover it. We believe this is taking away your power to decide, along with your surgeon, what is best for you. We believe the amount of breast tissue removed should be left up to the patient and their plastic surgeon — not dictated by a health insurance company.

Insurance Companies Have Strict Policies

If you are seeking breast reduction through insurance, you should know that insurance companies will consider the breast reduction procedure “cosmetic” until a patient can prove a number of health issues caused by having large breasts. There are stringent requirements you must meet before you qualify — most insurance companies require proof of (on average) 6 to 12 months of conservative treatment measures including chiropractic treatment, 物理澳洲幸运10最新正规开奖官网, dermatology referrals for rashes & 更多的.  Ultimately if they agree to pay for surgery, 他们只是为较小的尺寸付钱，而不是为了最好的外观.

我们的外科医生在全身麻醉下进行缩胸手术. This means that you will be asleep for the operation, which usually lasts between two and three hours.

There are two primary options for incisions which begin with cutting around the pigmented area or nipple-areolar complex (NAC). Dr. Donaldson或Dr. Sieffert will recommend the best choice for you.

Incision options include:

• A keyhole-shaped pattern, with an incision around the areola and down to the breast crease
• An anchor-shaped or inverted T-shaped incision

Throughout the procedure, the nipple remains attached to the underlying breast tissue in 99.9%的病例. After the incision is made, 乳晕直径通常通过切除周围皮肤来减小 the nipple is repositioned 更高的 on the chest.

Underlying breast tissue is reduced, lifted and shaped. 很少, if breasts are extremely large and pendulous, the areola and nipple may need to be removed and replaced to a 更高的 position on the breast. 这就是所谓的自由乳头移植，它是为特殊情况保留的.

我们在整个手术过程中尽量减少疤痕

内部调整完成后，将关闭切口. 将这些切口合在一起可以重塑新的小乳房. Sutures are layered deep to superficial in order to create and support the new breasts. All sutures are dissolvable under the skin, a final layer of skin adhesive (surgical-grade super glue) is used to protect the skin. These incision lines become permanent scars, but they usually fade and improve over time. We also offer additional nonsurgical treatments to help diminish the appearance of scars, including Morpheus8 skin tightening.

Your Procedure May Look A Little Different
