Restore Balance, Renew Beauty

Insurance Coverage For Breast Reduction Surgery

Restore Comfort, Balance, and Confidence

Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a transformative procedure designed to reduce the size and weight of overly large breasts. For many women, this surgery provides lasting relief from physical pain, improves body proportions, and enhances quality of life.

At HIM & HER PLASTIC SURGERY, in Dallas, Texas, our board-certified plastic surgeon specializes in breast reduction procedures that utilize advanced surgical techniques to obtain natural, beautiful results. We also assist patients in navigating insurance coverage, which often applies when breast reduction is performed for medical reasons.

Why Choose Breast Reduction?

Women with overly large breasts suffer from a range of physical and emotional challenges which includes: chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain, skin irritation beneath the breasts, grooves or indentations from bra straps, posture problems, difficulty finding properly fitting clothing and self-consciousness or unwanted attention. The goal of breast reduction surgery is to relieve these symptoms, while creating a breast size that complements your body frame and lifestyle.

How is a Breast Reduction Performed?

During a breast reduction, excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are carefully removed to achieve a smaller, more proportionate shape. The nipples and areolas are repositioned for a natural appearance. Our surgeon uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring and obtain breast symmetry.

Most procedures are performed under sedation anesthesia and take approximately 2–4 hours. Patients typically return home the same day and can resume light activities within 2–3 weeks.

How Long is the Recovery Period After a Breast Reduction?

After surgery, patients can expect some swelling and tenderness that gradually subsides over several weeks. Support garments are provided to aid healing and comfort. Final results — lighter, uplifted breasts — are typically visible after a few months and continue to refine over time.

Insurance Coverage for Breast Reduction

Unlike most cosmetic breast surgeries, breast reduction surgery is often covered by insurance when deemed medically necessary. Insurance providers typically require documentation showing that large breasts are causing health problems or physical discomfort.

Our office assists patients with the entire insurance pre-authorization process, including:

  • Medical evaluations and documentation
  • Submission of photographs and measurements
  • Letters of medical necessity

Each insurance plan is different, and coverage depends on factors such as body mass index (BMI), amount of tissue to be removed, and documented symptoms. Our team will verify your benefits, explain your options, and help you understand any out-of-pocket costs before scheduling surgery.
