You look great! Did Dr. Nik always accept insurance or did your doctor have to refer you to him? and if he didn't accept insurance what did you do for your insurance to cover the procedure? Thank you!

Hey ladies so alot of u have been inboxing with some of the same questions .... So I have Emblem insurance I only paid my copay (( nothing up front))) however do remember all insurances are different based on what gets covered copays etc. I only stayed in the hospital after my first removal the other two were out patient procedures.... I recovered at home alone ... there are NO recovery houses in Ny... am i disfigured NO... as far as recovery Im typically ok by day two or three Im usually jut a lil nauseous from the anesthesia which Zofran fixes that problem... I never have problems walkin or moving around , I recovery alone and Im just fine... Hope this helps

You look great and I don’t see any scars. What is the removal procedure that he uses?

Thank you so much for this amazing review. I live in NYC and have had illegal injections since 2010. I haven't had any issues or discoloration, but now I am experiencing lower back pains. I have been researching for years for doctors who can do removals. I am just terrified of being disfigured for life. I am so happy you referred us to your doctor I will be reaching out to him asap.
How were you able to get the insurance to pay for it ?
My doctor
Your primary doctor ? Or this doctor ?
hello. which insurance did you use? did they pay for all of it or a percentage? did they pay from the beginning or just a reimbursement?
Hi i have emblem n i paid nothin but my 200 copay hope that helps
Thanks so much! Really appreciate you documenting your journey so well and so often and getting back to everyone.
