plastic surgery appointment in the a.m.

[Guest guest]

I going for an evaluation for a boob lift/reduction at 8 a.m. and was

wondering if anyone knows how likely it is that insurance will pay. I won't

have it done if they won't but if they will, will consider getting a

brachioplasty at the same time (self pay I'm sure) . I figure it will cost

a bit less to do them both at once if that's possible. Any ideas/feedback on

this would be helpful.

TIA.

My insurance (Cigna HMO) would not pay for the breast lift, and I did not

have enough tissue to qualify for a reduction - mostly skin, no tissue left.

I paid for it myself, since insurance was paying for the abdominoplasty and

hernia repair. Total cost to me was around $3,000 and I consider it money

very, very well spent.
