I want to get a BBL, do you need insurance for it?

Health insurance does not typically cover "cosmetic procedures" nor their potential complications if they were to occur.  Ask your board certified plastic surgeon what action he or she would recommend that you take.  My advice would be for you to purchase health insurance coverage if you do not currently have it to protect yourself from financial catastrophes resulting from NON-cosmetic procedures.  Cosmetassure offers cosmetic surgery insurance for any complication that may occur in the first 30 days post-op.  Your plastic surgeon has to participate in the program for your procedure to be covered., and the procedure has to be performed under general anesthesia.  Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Dear Lilbookie12,Insurances don`t cover any plastic surgery procedures. Here we have an eventuality insurance to cover any problem coming from unexpected events after surgery, this optional for the patient. Best whishes.  

BBL is an elective surgery which is not covered by insurance. There are payment plans offered by CareCredit and other companies that pay for medical procedures.

Thank you for your question.This procedure would not be covered by insurance seeing as it is elective cosmetic surgery and not medically necessary. There are payment plans out there such as Care Credit that you can utilize to pay for your procedure and make monthly payments to them.  I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to pursue your cosmetic goals.  Best of luck in your endeavors!Sincerely,
