Can an otoplasty be covered under insurance? (photos)

Asked By:Mommylee93 in Monterey, CA

Can an Otoplasty be covered under insurance if it were to be deemed medically necessary because of daily discomfort and pain? I am 22 years old and I suffer from pain and headaches daily because of my ears, not to mention the visual aesthetic... I can't lay my head on a pillow with my ear bent, or wear headbands without pain. Also, any sort of wind causes severe ear aches. I believe this is all due to how prominent my ears are and wanted to know if this could be fixed! Thank you.
