Question:
Has anyone had their insurance pay for breast enhancement?

Okay, as you all know, and as I have been very open about this, I have no breasts left to speak of. I have skin where I should have filled out breasts. There is NO fat in my breasts anymore and they "literally" fold up in my bra. If I bend over, they fall out. I have tryed every type of bra and nothing works. Yes, I can look "normal" with a water bra or whatever but, again, they are honestly folded in there. Question? Has anyone had insurance pay to "fill them out"? I sincerely think that it should be covered because of the problems I suffer from this with the bra situation. Anyone have any advice or knowledge in this? Thanks.    — Barbara H.

I know lots of people who have had a lift or reduction covered. But, I am like you, I have gone down to nothing but empty skin, and I think to look at all normal I will need implants. I would love to know if anyone anywhere has had insurance cover reconstructive lift and implant. I hate to be greedy, but I do wonder.

I am getting breast implants on Monday and I am so excited. your insurance will not pay for it because no matter how you look at it, it is cosmetic surgery. I already started off with little boobs, but with losing so much weight, I am left with nothing. So I thought about it and realized I might as well do it since I have this wonderful new body, I might as well have great, perky boobs to go with it..It is really not too expensive, depending on where you live. It will be between 4,000 and 5,000 dollars. Good Luck
