Question:
How do I get insurance to pay for my thighs

I have Cigna PPO here in Ohio. They paid for a TT but now my thighs are a horrible mess. They are all wrinkled looking. I am a size 4 but I won't wear anything short because of my thighs. How can I get insurance to pay for it?    — Sandy P. (posted on August 1, 2002)

Have your PCP write a letter to reccomend a thigh lift because your loose skin rubs when you walk and causes discomfort. If you get a yeast rash in the skin folds - that helps also. Be prepared for someone along the line to want medical pictures of your condition in order to get the proceedure approved.

My insurance paid. I had a letter from psychiatrist saying how much the disfigurment was contributing to my depression I also had pictures of my thighs with rashes. I had a letter from me going into detail how it was affecting me. By the way, I love the results. Dr. Manduano tried very hard to leave the insision right in the bend of my thighs. I lost all the drapiness.
