Wiki Diagnosis coding for "dog ears"

[Jensina]

When a patient has a revision of her breast reduction to remove that excess axillary skin, what dx codes should I use? I've been using 701.9 (atrophy/hypertrophy skin), but I'm just wondering if there are any others that would help. Any suggestions?

I would use 701.9 as well.

That's what I use also, sometimes I struggle using it because you know that it probably isn't going to be covered.
