WORTH IT

I had liposuction on my inner thighs as part of a revision surgery from a bilateral mastectomy (which he also did amazing work on). I just needed a very small amount of fat removed from my inner thighs and my surgeon did a wonderful job! He created a great contour along the muscle line on my inner thigh that looks amazing after it healed up. I am super happy with the results ans would absolutely recommend my surgeon to anyone looking to have similar surgery. I have left the "amount spent" as $0 because it was covered by insurance.

Thanks so much for sharing your story. If you don't mind me asking, how come insurance covered your lipo, even as part of your mastectomy? I've never heard of this!

It was covered because the fat that was removed was injected as a fat graft into an area of my breast to even it out. The lipo was a means to obtain the fat and was covered.

Wow, now I would love to have this same procedure done and have my insurance company take care of it. Tell me how that works and what insurance company do you have.

It was part of reconstruction following breast cancer and a bilateral mastectomy. I can't see it being covered outside that situation... sorry.
