Rashes for plastic surgery

i am 4 months post-op. I started getting a rash about 2.5 inches by 1 inch in the side of my belly fold. I am hoping insurance will pay for a tummy tuck or abdominaplasty, tho who knows. But if I wanted to make the case, how frequently does it have to be documented? I did it at the 3.5 month mark, bot some medicine for it, and am not scheduled to see the surgeon again for 3 months.

the rash has improved with the medicine, which is good. And it is just in this one place for now. I am not trying to make it worse or prevent it from healing.

Your best bet is to call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask.

If you go into your primary in the next month or so for your flu shot, make sure you mention it so its in the records to go to the plastic surgeon later.

Keep on losing!
