Does Tricare Prime approve plastic surgery?

Hello, I'm starting to research and learn more about reconstructive surgery. I can't find people who have Tricare Prime Insurance (Army) with approvals for lower body lifts. Or even thigh/butt lifts that were approved by insurance. Do any of you have this insurance or know of someone that has had it and was able to get these procedures approved? Was it done at a military hospital or were you able to go outside to a civilian doctor with an approval from TPI? Any thoughts or ideas would be very helpful. Or if you could point me in the right direction where I can do my own research I would be very grateful. Thank you for any help and guidance, Ella

Hi Ella im Kiesha.. I have Tricare Prime North region.. I have heard that if you can prove that its reconstrictive and medically ness then they will aprove it.. i dont know anyone that has actually been approved and I do know people that have tried with all the documents that needed to back it up.. I only thing i know for sure is that if you find a surgeon at a miltary hospital that does implants.. that you can pay for the implants and the surgery itself would be free.. but as far as other things.. well If you find out before I do please let me know.. I am defintly going to want a body lift after surgery.. K
