About a year and a half ago my plastic surgeon submitted my request to insurance and it got approved removing 300g. I didn't go through with it, but when I went back now it had expired. At my consultation a few months ago my plastic surgeon said that she would submit another request. Today I called the insurance office and the woman told me that insurance does not approve any amount to be removed. She said that everything is post op and that they would examine if it was medically necessary then.
