Commonly Asked Questions About breast reduction

How much does breast reduction surgery cost?

The expenses associated with your breast reduction surgery will be addressed in detail during your consultation with Dr. Rao. Once your personalized treatment plan is established, a comprehensive cost estimate, encompassing anesthesia fees, surgical facility expenses, and more, will be provided. As breast reduction surgery can greatly enhance your quality of life, our team is dedicated to assisting you in securing low-interest financing options to make the procedure financially accessible. Additionally, we can collaborate with your insurance company to explore potential coverage for some of the costs.

Will my insurance cover breast reduction?

Your health insurance might provide coverage for a portion of the breast reduction surgery expenses if it is deemed medically necessary. To facilitate your insurance claim, inform Dr. Rao if you are considering utilizing your insurance. It is advisable to contact your insurance company directly to inquire about potential coverage for the surgery and the specific requirements for approval. Typically, insurance decisions are based on various measurements such as height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and body surface area.

How successful is breast reduction surgery at relieving back and neck pain?

Through the removal of excess breast tissue, Dr. Rao can alleviate undue strain on your neck and back, simultaneously enhancing the shape of your breasts for a more youthful and natural look. The success rate following breast reduction is notably high, with many women expressing increased satisfaction and the ability to engage in everyday activities that previously caused discomfort.

Will my nipples be moved?

Typically, the surgery involves repositioning the nipples and areola to a higher location on the breast. Dr. Rao ensures that the nipples remain connected to the underlying breast tissue to preserve blood supply, with free-nipple grafts being an exceptionally rare consideration. During the consultation, various techniques, such as the anchor incision, will be explored, allowing for a discussion of options before collaboratively deciding on the most suitable plan to achieve your aesthetic goals.

Can I breastfeed after a breast reduction?

Breast reduction surgery can impact the ability to breastfeed. While some women may retain the ability to breastfeed after the procedure, others may face challenges. Predicting the specific impact on breastfeeding can be challenging. Dr. Rao advises that individuals undergoing breast reduction surgery should either have completed their family planning or be open to the possibility of not breastfeeding in the future.

Can my breasts regrow after surgery?

Following breast reduction surgery, changes in weight can influence the size of your breasts, leading to either an increase or decrease in size. Maintaining a stable and healthy weight before the surgery is recommended to enhance the likelihood of preserving desired results. Dr. Rao will provide guidance during the consultation on optimal preparation for the procedure and offer post-surgery recommendations to help ensure satisfaction with the outcomes.
