Otto Joseph Placik, 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 are increasingly denying coverage of medical conditions if they attribute them to the breast implants. Interestingly they will pay for complications of alcohol and tobacco abuse but not  always for breast implants.
