At the Cosmetic Surgery Associates of New York, breast reduction can be a life-enhancing event that has a dramatically positive impact on both a woman’s health and self-esteem. For insurance purposes, breast reduction is at times considered a reconstructive procedure, due to the fact that greatly oversized breasts may interfere with normal function and can lead to severe back problems. However, one cannot overlook the cosmetic component to the operation: breast reduction surgery will vastly improve the shape of the breasts and nipple areas.
At our Westchester practice, breast reduction is achieved by removing excess breast tissue and skin and then repositioning the nipple and areola (the darker skin surrounding the nipple) to ensure that they sit in a natural position. Lastly, the remaining breast tissue is reshaped. Our surgeons strive to preserve breast and nipple sensation and are able to do so in the vast majority of cases. Most women who undergo breast reduction retain the ability to breast feed following the operation.
At our Westchester, White Plains, and Mount Kisco offices, breast reduction can be performed any time after the breasts have finished developing. We frequently recommend the procedure to young women who are in the early stages of the physical and psychological dilemmas associated with having excessively large breasts. Depending on your symptoms, insurance may cover at least part of the cost of this procedure. Most insurance carriers have specific requirements as to the amount of breast tissue that must be removed in order for the procedure to be classified as reconstructive and therefore qualify the patient for coverage. At Cosmetic Surgery Associates of New York, we will help you navigate the complex labyrinth of insurance paper work to ensure that, if you do qualify, your breast reduction surgery will be covered.
