Guest guest Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Hi Ivonne I paid for mine up front and fought the insurance co and won. It took numerous appeals - After removal it is very important that you have them analyzed by an expert as that it what won my appeal. Mine were highly contaminated and leaking. Are yours salines? How long have you had them? Please email me w/ your details and I will try to help you as best I can Thanks shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Ivonne I couldn't afford it either.... we got a loan to do it. I know that sounds tough but you have to do whatever you can to get them out. I didn't get a lift - just removal so it wasn't as much as some others have had to spend. I wish I had more money to have gone to one of the "removal specialists" recommended in our group as I think I would be much better off now had I gone to one of them but I was just happy at that point to get them out of me. My doctor wanted to do a breast ultrasound to see if they could measure the fluid inside to prove that they were leaking - if you can get that and prove it then that may help you with the insurance co. I didn't want to wait another six weeks for ins approval so I went ahead and got the loan but they did end up to BOTH be leaking and highly contaminated which won my appeal. Maybe you can get the ultrasound? I am not sure what ins you have and what their rules are but if you have saline implants there is a pretty good chace that they are leaking. I hope this info helps - wish I had more advice shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 , Besides capsular contracture I think that pain and depression would also carry some weight in getting approved. Good Luck .
