I just had an extended TT with my arms done and I 100% agree! This was much easier than my WLS, cake walk except for the drains, they are a bit&$. Surgery was 2/10

I see a lot of questions about this topic, and how to get insurance to pay.

The key is a matter of semantics and coding.

Thighplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that tightens skin and underlying muscle. Most insurance will not pay for it. What I had, skin excision is a procedure to remove excess/redundant skin. In my case, it was paid for because of the constant skin infections and other issues.

Different procedures, different codes.

Well, what a way for Anthem to be clear on how they instruct you to handle things! I'm sorry things have hit a (minor) stall... hopefully you get your surgery soon and things heal well, regardless of who performs it

You look so great!

It goes a little further around and my surgeon doesn't do the Fleur, he uses lipo and his own technique to get the same results without the extra scaring. Also my recliner is a standard manual recliner.
