Insurance to Cover Fat-grafting for Asymmetrical, Tuberous Breasts? (photo)

March 7, 2013
Asked By:dancingbeet in Washington, WA

I've read enough to know that it is possible to correct breasts with fat grafting. I do NOT want implants. My question is whether or not a surgeon would accept payment through TRICARE for the procedure. In addition to covering post-mastectomy surgery, I was surprised to find out TRICARE also covers correction of congenital deformities such as mine. I'm looking for a surgeon who, if not a TRICARE provider already, would be my advocate to help me reimburse some of my costs.
