They have to be able to remove a certain weight for the insurance to approve it as medically necessary. Anything less is considered cosmetic even if it’s on a small frame. It’s the insurance companies fault, not the surgeons or else it would be fraud or I’d have to pay out of pocket for a reduction more personalized to what I want.
I’m 38DDD and no im not paying out of pocket. There’s certain words or phrases drs need to say to insurance companies to get them to actually cover it. Like if your Dr just said it’s a reduction without saying it’s effecting you day to day blah blah blah yeah insurance isn’t gonna wanna pay for it. Most doctors should know what to say but it’s not the case 100% of the time.
