Any surgical procedure will have a price tag associated with it, but the cost of a breast reduction can be covered by your insurance under the right circumstances. You have two major conditions at play when trying to get your reduction costs covered: your body and your insurance type. Not all breast reductions are the same, and some situations will merit coverage when others will not. And, again, not all Lubbock insurance coverage is the same, and not all doctors and procedures are covered by every plan.
Start by contacting your insurance provider directly. This will give you the opportunity to get general information about whether a breast reduction is potentially covered by your insurance plan. It will also give you the opportunity to ensure your board certified plastic surgeon of choice is within your network of coverage.
You’ll most likely need an evaluation from a surgeon to meet specific requirements established by your Lubbock insurance provider to cover the breast reduction. Criteria may include:
An estimate of at least 500 grams (half of a pound) will be removed from each breast
Documentation of injury (like back pain) due to the large size of your breasts
Documentation that the surgery is needed in order to correct the disabling symptoms
Photographic documentation
Essentially, insurance companies are often looking for proof that the breast reduction is medically necessary and not just a cosmetic surgery for appearance purposes only. Patients can work with the staff at our Lubbock office to coordinate insurance billing. If the procedure is deemed medically necessary after a consultation with Dr. Jane Rowley, insurance may cover all or part of the surgery and the hospital costs for your procedure and recovery care. Dr. Rowley sees many happy patients after their plastic surgery, but patients who have a breast reduction are some of the most satisfied patients.

For women in Lubbock, plastic surgery options can vary from a tummy tuck to a facelift. But the top requested plastic surgery across the nation is breast augmentation. As women age and after having children, breasts can lose volume and their youthful shape. When you are ready to enhance and change the appearance of your breast, you will need to make several important choices. One choice with breast implants is which implant material you will choose. Silicone or saline?
Pros and Cons of Silicone
Silicone implants can have a more natural feeling and look. These implants have a lower risk of showing rippling in the tissue around the implant. Silicone implants can be more costly, can require a larger incision, and have a risk of a “silent rupture.”
Why Women Choose Saline
Where silicone implants come pre-filled, saline implants are filled and adjusted during surgery. Saline implants can require a smaller incision. If they have a leak, patients will know immediately, and there is no health risk with the leak.
The Best of Both Worlds in an Ideal Implant
Dr. Jane Rowley is proud to offer her patients the Ideal Implant® that gives the benefit of a structured, more natural feeling implant without the concerns of the possibility of a silicone leak. This implant has an inner shell and an inner chamber as well as an outer shell and outer chamber that gives the implant more control with movement. Patients benefit from smaller incisions, no silicone risk, and higher rupture strength.
Whether you choose a silicone of saline breast implant, the decision is personal and should be carefully made after a thorough discussion with your doctor. If you are looking for the best of both worlds when it comes to implant choices in Lubbock, plastic surgeon Dr. Jane Rowley is the only surgeon in Lubbock that offers her patients the Ideal Implant® option.

Wondering about the natural feeling of breast implants is a common question when considering breast enhancement plastic surgery. Lubbock women not only want a particular look from their implants, but they are also hopeful for a particular feel–a natural one. Post-surgery, women eventually stop thinking about their new breasts as implants and start considering them to be their breasts. A lot of variables contribute to this feeling. While some of those variables are psychological, let’s focus on the physical ones here.
Silicone or Saline
The type of implant can have a significant role in how quickly you feel back to “normal.” Softer silicone implants feel natural sooner following your plastic surgery than saline implants. But, you have different implants to try before you make that final decision. Lubbock Doctor Jane Rowley can give you the chance to feel both materials before making your choice.
Over or Under
The implant needs to be placed deeper than directly under your skin. So if you do not have enough breast tissue to cover the implant, the implant must be placed under the chest muscle. When placed below breast tissue but above the muscle, the implanted breast has a more natural feel. If placed under the muscle, the muscle will need time to stretch and thin out.
More or Less
The more natural breast tissue you have supporting the implant, the more quickly the implant will blend with your body and convey that natural look and feel. When considering plastic surgery, Lubbock patients can come into our office to get a thorough evaluation on their bodies, including an assessment of available breast tissue.
Smaller or Larger
The larger the implant, the longer it may take to get that natural feel back. Some implants may be so large that they will never quite obtain that feel. If your goal is to simply augment what you already have and gain or regain some shape, then, you should be careful with the size.
What Can You Do?
Apart from the psychological and physical aspects to owning your implants as your breasts, there are things that you have control over and do contribute to obtaining a natural feel.
Massages: Deep massages to the implants, especially early after the surgery are important. While this is not the most comfortable thing following surgery, it is important to work the surrounding tissue, helping it feel supple and natural. And if your implant is under your chest muscle, this can help that muscle stretch and relax as well.
Right Surgeon: Select a surgeon who truly knows how to give you more natural results. Selecting a doctor certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, like Dr. Rowley, will significantly increase your likelihood of achieving your desired results.
Patience: A natural feel can take from two to nine months post-surgery to obtain. Be patient with your body. Love your new body. And give it the time it needs to become yours in both look and feel.
