C. Bob Basu, MD answers: Will insurance pay for complications resulting from breast implants?

If something like a infection develops after getting breast implants, will the treatment of the infection be covered by insurance?

Unfortunately, insurance companies will usually not cover complications from cosmetic surgery.  The only time insurance companies will cover implants and implant related complication is if you have undergone implant reconstruction for breast cancer.  CosmetAssure is a qualified insurance program that helps cover some complications after cosmetic surgery.
