Q.- Will insurance cover my breast lift operation?
A. Most, if not all, insurance companies classify breast lift operations as cosmetic or aesthetic procedures meant to improve the appearance of the breasts and not medically necessary. Therefore, they do not pay for this operation.

Q.- Can I breast feed after a mastopexy?
A. Yes. This operation seldom divides the ducts between the nipple and the breast tissue, so breast feeding is usually normal after a mastopexy.

Q.- What if my breasts are small and drooping? Can they be lifted and enlarged at the same time?
A. Most patients with small, ptotic (drooping) breasts can have a combined procedure of breast augmentation and mastopexy. Occasionally the ptosis procedures is done first to determine if the patient will be satisfied with the improved shape of the breast and its size. If she is satisfied no augmentation is required. If she wishes to also have larger breasts, the augmentation can be done later (usually 3 months or longer after the breast lifting operation).
