Question 1

i would like to do a breast augmentation surgery due to the chronic back pain i struggle with. would discovery assist in co-payments for this surgery?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Insurer probably won't pay to augment breasts, as the resulting bigger breasts means more weight to carry around... and more stress on one's back. Visiting a Physical Medicine doctor (a physiatrist) can help, as the doctor can help resolve the back pain, with the assistance of physical therapy, and lots of body training and exercise. A last resort would be cutting down the size of the breasts.

Question 2

i underwent breast augmentation almost three years ago, a week ago when i was moving boxes one of my implants flipped. it does not hurt in anyway, but the difference is quite noticeable. i have submuscular implants, can i flip it back myself?

: No do not attempt to flip their own breast implants back into place. Breast implants are typically placed in a specific position during surgery and any movement or displacement can cause discomfort, distortion, or even damage to the implant itself. In this case, it is important to seek medical attention from a board-certified plastic surgeon who can properly assess the situation and recommend TX

If you are over weight then loosing weight may help your back pain and reduce the size of the breast.
