Does insurance cover cost of implant removal if there is rupture? Can I sleep on my side or stomach w/ ruptured implants?

Asked By:Babydoll2012 in Saint Louis, MO

I'm pretty sure both of my under muscle silicone implants are ruptured. Symptoms are there. I'm 23. They are 5 yrs old. In some cases, does insurance cover some or most of the costs for removal? I just want them removed, not replaced. I will not be having the original surgeon performing the removal. I will have to find a new one. How soon is necessary to have the procedure? It is uncomfortable and I'm afraid of the pain worsening, but timing is not ideal. Will probably have procedure in St Louis
