A member asked:

I lost my chest and completely flat after having my first child would insurance cover breast augmentation?

6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Probably not: Most insurance plans don't cover breast augmentation. For the specifics of your coverage, call your insurance company. Best wishes!

Due the cosmetic nature of a breast augmentation procedure, most insurance providers will not cover the surgical costs unless it is proven to be medically necessary. This would be extremely rare.
