Will My Insurance Cover Breast Fat Transfer?

If you are considering a fat transfer for cosmetic reasons, it's likely that your medical insurance will not cover the procedure and you will have to pay for it.

If your fat transfer is to reconstruct the breast due to a medical problem or if it is performed to reconstruct a breast after a mastectomy, it's possible your insurance may cover a portion or all of the procedure. In this case, your insurance company may require information from your doctor before covering the breast fat transfer procedure. Insurance plans vary, so you should consult with a representative of your insurance company before scheduling your breast fat transfer.

Financing Your Breast Fat Transfer

If you discover that your insurance plan will not pay for your breast fat transfer, other options may be available.

You should discuss the situation with your doctor or outpatient center before scheduling your breast fat transfer.

Factors Affecting The Cost of a Breast Fat Transfer

Many different factors affect the cost of a fat transfer breast augmentation. Some of these factors include:

• The experience, training and skill of your doctor
• The type and extent of breast fat transfer you will be receiving
• The region of the country where you will have the procedure
• The fees associated with the office or hospital where you will have your procedure
• The cost of anesthesia
• The amount of fat being transferred

You should be careful not to choose a physician based on cost alone. High-quality, experienced physicians can command higher fees for their services. However, these physicians can also get you the best results, improving your self-confidence by improving the appearance of your breasts.

In fact, many doctors are developing innovations that improve the survival of fat cells, allowing more of the injected fat to connect to breast tissue and therefore create a fuller breast. Access to these advanced procedures may require paying higher fees. You must make a decision by choosing a doctor you trust so you can be comfortable with your results.

Scheduling several procedures to be performed at the same time may be a better option if you looking to reduce costs and shorten recovery times. By doing so, you will only be paying for one facility and anesthesia fee as well as having one recovery period as opposed to several depending on the number of procedures that you desire performed. Additionally, your surgeon may give you a discount if you schedule several procedures.

More than 2/3 of American who have elective cosmetic surgery earn under $5,000 a year.

What if I Can't Afford a Breast Fat Transfer?

Before your breast fat transfer, you should carefully go over all associated costs with your doctor or the facility where you will have your procedure. If your insurance will not cover your breast fat transfer, it's important that you understand the associated costs and find a payment plan that will work for you.

If you find it difficult to pay for your breast fat transfer, your doctor may be able to offer you a financing option that will fit your budget. Our doctors believe that breast fat transfer should be made available for all women who are dissatisfied with the size or shape of their breasts and want to improve their appearance and self-esteem.

Choosing Your Breast Fat Transfer Doctor

You should not choose a doctor based on breast fat transfer cost alone.

In fact, higher cost can be an indicator of more refined skill and greater experience. The success of your breast fat transfer depends in large part on the skill of your surgeon. A quality plastic surgeon can increase the chance of getting the results you want and can reduce the risk of complications.

When choosing your breast fat transfer surgeon, you should take these factors into account:

• The experience of your breast fat transfer doctor, such as how long he or she has been performing fat transfers to the breast and how often he or she performs them
• The breast fat transfer technique your doctor uses; ask questions and make sure you understand how it works before making a decision
• The doctor's skill in performing liposuction
• Results of the doctor's work; ask to see before and after pictures of liposuction and fat transfer patients

Don't hesitate to ask to see before and after photos and read testimonials from patients. Ask your doctor about any concerns you have about the breast fat transfer procedure and what actions you can take to increase your chances of success of your breast fat transfer.

In most cases, your breast fat transfer surgeon may recommend additional treatments or therapies that can help you prepare for the breast fat transfer procedure or help speed up the recovery and decrease the discomfort after a breast fat transfer surgery.
