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.

Five Stars

“Dr Low is amazing and very kind. My weight fluctuated drastically over the years which left me with saggy, oversized breasts that were the source of much insecurity. I have pretty, perky, youthful breast now and a great size. Dr Low did his best and I appreciate it, immensely.”
