Will insurance cover male nipple reduction?


I have large areolas and want to get cosmetic surgery to have them reduced to a normal size. Is there any way I can get insurance to cover some of the cost?

No. They wouldn't cover that procedure for women either - cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance.

Male breast reductions can be covered when certain medical necessity criteria is met, but you aren't going to get coverage just because you don't like the way your areola looks.

Start saving if you really want to have this procedure done.

Health insurance doesn't cover cosmetic surgery. Sorry, but this one you're going to have to pay out of your own pocket.

Is this a serious question?

Wear a shirt.

Only if deemed medically necessary Good luck

No. Cosmetic surgery is not covered. Period.
