I want to make sure my expectations are in line with what is covered by insurance. I think my stomach is looking very"boxy" after diep, and it looks like I have a second set of hips! Very obvious in clothing, which fit poorly now(muffin top with those hips!) What can I get done with insurance, vs do I pay out of pocket to get the look I'm after.

Answer: DIEP Stage 2 Revision Wingracie, Thank you for your question. The best idea would be to discuss these concerns with your Plastic Surgeon as they will be able to check directly with your insurance. In most cases scar revision and liposuction for fat grafting to improve symmetry are covered for second stage procedures. It is also very important to discuss your expectations with your Plastic Surgeon as well so that they can fully explain what can be achieved and what cannot. Sincerely,

Answer: Second stage It would be best to discuss with your PS. Most insurances will cover fat grafting to correct asymmetries and to harvest fat liposuction needs to be done. Best wishes!
