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
Hi breewow, Although you have good lip definition and shape, your upper lip seems overfilled. You can have excess filler dissolved and you can have this done in 3 "installments" so that the change is not abrupt.All the best, Justin Harper, M,D.
Lip augmentation with Hyaluronic acid, a natural ingredient found in our skin, is the perfect treatment for you because it will add volume and definition to your lips. It will make them look fuller and plumper, still giving you a natural result. But there are a few key things to consider when it...
These can be taken care of by most physicians who inject fillers. It requires hyaluronidase injections. I prefer to use Hylenex for this because there is low risk of allergies for this. It might require a couple treatments. Surgery shouldn't be needed.
