I was wondering if BBL could ever be covered by insurance?

Question

Let me start by saying I am a professional in the healthcare field. I was out one evening and was actually shot in a drive by. The bullet entered my left buttock, broke my pelvis, and exited out my right thigh. Due to the tissue and muscle destruction the lower portion of my buttock is extremely flat . I look weird in my clothes and although I am glad to be alive I am self conscious.

BBLs are considered cosmetic procedures, not medical necessities; and are, therefore, not covered by health insurance. Being a professional in the healthcare field, you could check with your insurance provider to determine if the BBL would be covered because of your particular circumstances.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Hello dear!! 
  
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.  
  Cosmetic procedures are not covered by medical insurance, however you have a special condition that you may discuss with your health provider to see what are your options. I recommend you to make an appointment with a board plastic surgeon for a good evaluation and to talk about your options
Good luck :)

Thank you for your question.
Insurance does not cover cosmetic procedure.
When you're looking for a cosmetic procedure you find a surgeon that has been certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
Many surgeons, including myself, offer online virtual consultations where you send us your photos and we can estimate the cost
