Can insurance actually cover plastic surgery?
In this episode, I sit down with Jacksonville plastic surgeon Dr. Abby Threet to talk about what procedures may qualify for insurance — including breast reduction, panniculectomy, upper blepharoplasty, gynecomastia, skin cancer reconstruction, and breast reconstruction revision.
We break down:
• The difference between a breast lift and a breast reduction
• Insurance requirements and the “magic number” rule
• Board eligible vs board certified
• Why some surgeons don’t take insurance
• Drains vs no drains in tummy tucks
• How to choose the right plastic surgeon
If you’ve ever wondered whether your surgery could be considered medically necessary, this episode is a must-watch.
This is about education, transparency, and helping you make empowered decisions.
