Do I need health insurance to get a BBL?

Question

Do I need to have health insurance to get a bbl done?

N. Bill Aydin, MD · Answer

Hi, Thank you for your post. A BBL is considered an elective surgery since it is cosmetic. You do not need insurance to have this surgery because it will probably not be covered. I would set up a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to review your options for a BBL.

BBLs are considered cosmetic procedures, not medical necessities; and are, therefore, not covered by health insurance.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question. No you do not need insurance to get a BBL. BBL is an elective surgery and is not covered by insurance. Next step for you is to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss you options and goals. Best wishes.

Elective, cosmetic operations are not covered by insurance. 
Typically - complications that arise from elective, cosmetic operations are not covered by insurance either.

That being said, having health insurance DOES offer you some degree of protection / coverage - should something happen that either a covered benefit or unrelated to the surgery.

Good luck!

BBL's are not covered by health insurance.  This is a self-pay procedure. Best of luck moving forward.
