Can I pay for reconstructive surgery even if I smoke?

April 4, 2016
Asked By:jespan in Spokane, WA

I had a single mastectomy 2 years ago. I had breast implants when I was 26 years old, i'm now 60. I was informed that because I smoke insurance companies would not pay for me to have reconstruction on my breast that was removed or a new implant to replace the other one. Thank you for your time.
