Breast Reduction Patients
Depending on how much breast tissue will be removed, health insurance plans frequently cover all of the costs of breast reduction surgery. The staff at North Shore Cosmetic Surgery has extensive experience in working with insurers for breast reduction surgeries and works hard to maximize your coverage. Letters of support from your primary care physician, as well as any physical therapists who have treated you for back, neck, or shoulder conditions, may aid this process.
Private payment and financing options are available for those patients who are not covered by insurance.

Weight Loss Patients
Massive weight loss is a great achievement, and some insurance providers recognize that by providing coverage for abdominoplasty or other post-bariatric surgery procedures, especially if health conditions, such as rashes from excess skin, are involved.
Our insurance department will help determine whether you are eligible for this coverage and will work to ensure you receive coverage whenever possible.
You may expedite this process by bringing documentation from your bariatric surgeon with you to your first consultation with one of our surgeons.

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Walsh. I got a breast lift with her in December and while the results are amazing and I feel more confident than ever, she thoroughly answered every question and concern I had beforehand. She genuinely cares about every person who walks through those doors, and isn’t the type of surgeon to recommend something unless it’s truly right for you. I can go on and on about how personable, professional, (EXTREMELY patient), and talented she truly is. I’ll recommend her to everyone in every lifetime!
