In general, if the lip injury is causing a functional problem, then this is something that can sometimes be addressed under insurance coverage if it is a surgical repair. It is unlikely that insurance is going to cover lip augmentation with fillers. Lip augmentation just for cosmetic purposes would probably not be covered under any scenario.Be sure to see an expert like a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who focuses on cosmetic facial treatments in order to review all of the options in detail.Best,
I am sorry about your injury. It really depends on the issue whether insurance will pay or not. The initial repair and typically issues that cause difficulty with speaking, chewing or oral competence can be covered by insurance. If you are just looking for more volume then it is not typically covered by insurance.
Thank you for your question, and sorry to hear about your accident. The initial repair is often covered by insurance. Adding fillers to the lips, however, is not usually covered.
nedajean. Maybe. Some insurance plans do cover surgery to correct disfigurements from an injury. Your best option is to seek the advice of a board-certified plastic surgeon and ask if authorization for treatment can be obtained from your insurance company. Best of luck.
It may, depending on the specific insurance plan and the specifics of the injury but there are no warranties. You should call your insurance and discuss it with their representative.
Reconstructive procedures using fat transfer should be covered and addressed as part of the settlement. Reconstructive procedure coverage by health insurers will vary according to the terms of the individual policy.
Hi. Insurance will not pay for lip fillers. This is considered a cosmetic treatment that can be very inexpensive. Most lip filler costs about $600.
If your lip is deformed from an accident, and it effects your eatting and speaking then you have a good case for lip repair.Maintenance lip plumping, unfortunately though, is not covered.Best. Dr Brecht Seattle, Wa
Breewow. Hard to say for sure why your filler is now in a location that is less desirable for Lip Augmentation. Your best option is to have that filler causing issues dissolved with Hyaluronidase and then at some point, placement of more fillers in the location that will provide the best re...
Lip augmentations with fillers is a great option to improve the fullness, suppleness and symmetry of the lips. Results can be very natural-looking and will feel very natural. I prefer to use a micro cannula to inject the lips to prevent bruising. Look for a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic sur...
You can see a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon. The filler can be reversed with hyaluronidase. Hope this helps.
We prefer using the patient's own tissues to augment the lips (LiveFill(R)) rather than a synthetic implant. It gives soft, natural feeling results and doesn't require placement of a plastic implant that can shift (usually it bottoms out) or be palpable as a firm object.
It's too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling, which can last 1-2 weeks after lip injections. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
