InsuranceMost insurance companies do not cover the costs of plastic surgery for cosmetic purposes. In some cases, plastic surgery is performed for medical purposes. For example, a Breast Reduction may alleviate the pain caused by the weight of the breasts, which can interfere with normal activities. In these cases, it is important to consult your insurance company to see if there is any coverage. Even if no insurance coverage is available, there are a number of ways to pay for plastic surgery, including financing or paying on an installment plan.
It is important when evaluating a surgeon to not base your decision on the lowest cost. Surgeons in the BoardGuaranteed network are certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. These are the surgeons who have gone through vigorous training and testing. The certification is the "gold standard" in the plastic surgery industry. |
