Fat transfer coverage by insurance

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Insurance coverage for fat transfer?

Can insurance cover the costs of fat transfer surgery? I am really considering this but my money is very low. I'm not happy with myself, however, I just had a baby. I still would love for my husband to look at me one day and just say "Wow!" It gets very depressing at times. Please Help!

You didn't say what you were trying to accomplish with a fat transfer.  Neverthless, there really isn't any cosmetic condition in which the insurance industry would cover a fat transfer.
