All you lucky ladies out there that have had breast reduction.....did your insurance pay for it and if so what was the criteria for getting the approval?  I'm only 12 days out from my TT but I'm looking forward to getting breast reduction and a mini arm lift.  What is the process and how long would you think I would have to wait after my TT to get my arms and breasts done.

Unsure of time spans between surgeries.  I wouldn't be in any hurry myself.

Check your insurance policy.  Mine was a certain amount of flesh for each breast- almost a pound.  I also was required to have sought more conservative treatment for any problems (pain)which failed (I was taking a painkiller).

Good luck!

Just had a BR &TT 2 weeks ago. My insurance required:
PCP letter
Ortho evaluation
x ray of upper back
medical clearance


When I had all these things together, my plastic surgeon submitted to my insurance, I was approved within 72 hrs. Good luck.-Jessie
