You must have awesome insurance!!! Hardly anyone I know has had all of that done on the insurance :-)   Usually they will pay on a case by case basis on a tummy tuck and occasonal breast lift - Don't change them whatever you do!!

Ok.. I won't. I reall had no idea. I orginally went in and talked to my doctor and I told him about us moving, and that I was afraid I wouldn't get approved at our new location because our insurance is part of regions so I would have had to switch the region I was in. So he decided to go ahead with the paperwork and got me approved for the tummy tuck. But he also put me in for a referral to a plastic surgeon who could work with him during my surgery and do a possible breast lift. After having to strip down naked in front of the plastic surgeon and lots of photos later.... I was told they had gotten me approved for not just a tummy tuck but the full lower body lift and a breast lift w/ implants. But they were going to do it all in 2 surgeries.
Honestly my mouth about fell down. My plastic surgeon asked me why I hadn't considered the lower body lift and I told him I honestly never thought I would get the approval. And since I have to switch regions with my insurance from West to East they recommended I go ahead with the surgery, or I may never get the chance again. I was a little afraid of it being so soon after my surgery but I am confident in my surgeons and they have done it before.

Thanks for the advice!
