insurance for second time surgery?

[Guest guest]

Just wondering if anyone has had a second surgery to correct

items either left out or performed wrong in their first surgery? If

so, did your insurance cover any of the second procedure? I had

lower jaw advancement/genioplasty ten years ago. My bite is

good, but I was left with significant lip incompetence which is

bothering me more all the time. My surgeon elected on his own

at that time to omit moving my upper jaw which would have

corrected the lip incompetence. The chin was very poor too,

whatever genioplasty was performed was very slight and offered

no real improvement at all. I have subsequently had a chin

implant which greatly improved that problem, but the lip

incompetence is extremely tiring and frustrating. I'm consulting

with an oral surgeon next week.

I had a second surgery two days after the first because my open bite

wasn't completely closed. This procedure was paid in full by my

insurance and, as far as I know,required no pre-authorization.
