Restylane Under Eyes - Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Hypermobility (Type III) - Lexington, KY

Crnnurse, have you tried to appeal their decision? Most insurance policies have an appeals process you can use if they deny coverage or make an unfavorable determination. It is a giant pain, but you may be able to get them to reverse their decision if you submit evidence that the treatment was medically necessary (like records of the other treatment options you have tried and how your migraines impact your life.) If your insurance still won't pay, I would suggest negotiating with the provider's office to get your bill reduced. At most, you should only have to pay the rate your insurance company allows for the service rather than the amount the provider billed. Good luck!

Could you please let me know who your treating physician is? I am new to the Tucson area and am trying to find a new neurologist/headache specialist. I've had debilitating migraines almost every day for years, although I currently take 5 differrent preventative meds every day. I have exhausted virtually every other treatment option (triptans, ergot, caffeine, pain meds, nausea meds, antidepressants, antiseizure drugs, beta-blocker, calcium channel blocker, trigger point injections, steroid injections, spinal facet injections, vitamins, aromatherapy, etc.) Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

I'm 31 and developed deep, severe hollows under my eyes after rapid, extreme weight loss due to illness. (I lost 35% of my body weight,60lbs, becoming severely underweight. When I regained some weight, my face regained much of its volume, but I had a recurrence and lost the weight again. After a year with no additional gain, I decided to do something about my very skeletal appearance. I initially got .75 syringe of Restylane under my eyes, then had another .25 at a follow-up appointment a month later. It did an amazing job of filling the deep, blue-black hollows and greatly improved my overall appearance.
I got it done at Skin Solutions Medical Spa in Lexington, KY and they were really great - long, free consultation, gave me tons of info, explained all the options, helped me find & complete a product rebate, offered to store any used part and use it later (within a year of opening) or on different areas for no extra charge, 2 free follow-up visits, no sales pressure, free financing, etc. I had it done in April and still have a great improvement - I'm just starting to notice a reduction in the affect 7 months later.
