Thighs - Same with me on my boobs, insurance will cover no part of any complication resulting from the procedure. Check with your surgeon - they often offer warranties you can buy up front that cover surgical costs for redos or replacement. Some guarantee their work and do any repair for free or greatly discounted.
Pennie -I'm the plan administrator for our insurance plan and spoke to our Medicare liason this morning on another matter, asked her your question. She said the same thing - decided on a case by case basis. She added that they are more likely to decline if it can be totally linked to the optional surgery. In the case of extra hospitalization after the procedure, that would be pretty clearly as a result of the procedure. Even she couldn't say for sure, though. Good luck.
