- Will Insurance Pay For This?
-
Everyone's insurance company is different. We recommend contacting your insurance company before the appointment. You can see what they will need in order for you to file for reimbursement after this procedure. Most flex spending account cards can also work for us, but they should be contacted prior to the appointment. The full payment is due at the time of the appointment and we can give you any necessary documents for you filing a reinburment with your insurance company.
Most insurance companies pay for this procedure after a masectormy and a touch every few years.

- Is there any discomfort during the procedure?
-
The procedure is usually with little to no pain. If there is any discomfort I place a numbing agent that will help through the procedure. The procedure time under the needle is very fast and is about 20 mins per areola or less.
- What is the aftercare? Do I need to take time off of work
-
The is no downtime or time off of work needed for this procedure. The aftercare is simple with a clear tegaderm in place for 1 week. Some light swelling and itching may occur while healing. Soft sports bras after the procedure are fine.
