Will Aetna insurance cover implant removal? I am willing to travel as far as NYC.

Asked By:Kristie81684 in Columbus, TX

I have looked into having my implants removed because of capsular contracture. I know if I have baker grade 3 or 4 insurance will pay for it, it might be a fight but they will pay for it. I am starting to have sharp pains, and I've lost nipple sensation the pain takes my breath away. I need and want a doctor to help get these out, and put new under the muscle implants in with a lift. I know insurance will not pay for all of it BUT it would help a great deal towards the big picture.
