NO MEDICAID DOES NOT COVER ANY SORT OF PLASTIC SURGERY. YOU MAY WANT TO CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT PRICING AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT A PAYMENT PLAN THAT WORKS FOR YOU

Hello peter111, Thank you for your question. Without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of any treatments it is difficult to be comprehensive.Most often trauma is covered by most medical insurance companies.I would seek care from a facial plastic surgeon in your area who can examine you and describe the findings for the insurance company.Also further imaging may need to be done (CT scan).Good luck ,Dr. Shadfar
