How Can I Get a Free Rhinoplasty?

October 27, 2009 Health & Fitness Comments Off

Many people will often wonder how that can get their insurance company to pay for a nose job. In order to provide the answer, we must quickly review why you would have to pay for a nose job.

If you simply want to alter your appearance for aesthetic reasons, this surgery will be considered elective cosmetic surgery. This means that the insurance company will not pay for the cost of nose surgery.

With that said, if your doctor categorizes your nose surgery as needing to be performed for medical reasons, then the insurance company will pay for it. An example of a medically necessary reason is to repair a deviated septum that impairs proper airflow.

With that said, if you choose to go the medically necessity route, please do not commit fraud. If you state you have a medical condition, and you don’t, you have just committed fraud.

Liposculpture: Minimizing Risks and Complications

September 11, 2009 Health & Fitness Comments Off

Liposculpture, a form of cosmetic surgery in which fat is removed from the body, carries inherent risks – as do all surgeries, cosmetic or not. How does a doctor go about minimizing the possible complications that could arise from liposculpture? What role does a patient play in minimizing those risks as well?

These are tough questions. Safety is a relative term and there is no such thing as a risk free procedure. However, put in more positive terms, the vast majority of patients do not experience any more side effects beyond the expected and non-life threatening effects. This includes things such as bruising, swelling, and skin discomfort, as experienced after the surgery is over.

Many of the risks associated with liposculpture are directly related to how much is removed in a given procedure and if the patient intends to under go more than a single procedure at once. To do so is to invite more risk! In the simplest terms, one of the easiest ways to minimize the risks associated with having liposculpture surgery is to simply go slow. Do not have more than one surgery at a time and do not have the doctor remove excessive amounts of fat from a single body treatment area.

In order to feel confident in the procedure as described above, it very much helps to have a grounded, realistic perspective on the results you will obtain from liposculpture. It is often the reverse – the drive for unrealistic results – that drives people to risky activities, such as multiple treatments at once and a tendency to remove more fat than should safely be done.

Liposuction Prices Not Covered By Insurance

September 8, 2009 Health & Fitness Comments Off

Sometimes in the comments section of the Liposuction Prices Guide, I see people asking one another about using insurance to pay for cosmetic surgery treatments. It’s funny to even see people asking this because you’d think they must live in a fantasy world where insurance companies (in the United States) first of all even pay for medically necessary treatments, and second of all, pay for cosmetic surgery? Not a chance! You’d have to convince them it was necessary for your health, which is going to be a hard sell to make to a company that denies people regularly for real medical treatment. Sorry, I wish it wasn’t this way, but I don’t run the insurance companies. Now maybe if Obama can get his health care plan through, we can weasel cosmetic surgery into a category of qualified surgeries! (Kidding!)

Introduction to Vaser Liposuction

August 11, 2009 Health & Fitness Comments Off

Vaser liposuction is one type of procedure that is becoming increasingly popular among cosmetic surgery patients because of it is relatively inexpensive, virtually painless, and has a much easier recovery time than many of the other plastic surgery options.

Vaser was fully approved by the FDA as a safe and viable cosmetic surgery procedure back in 2002 and has gained a great following.  This type of surgery can actually be done while the patient is awake, takes relatively little time, and the far majority of patients reported only minor bruising during the initial stages of recovery.  This is a much better overall situation that most plastic surgery procedures can offer.  Vaser liposuction falls into the ultrasonic branch of cosmetic

These procedures are only for individuals who are already in good shape and who only want a few extra pounds of fat from an area of the body that simply doesn’t want to give up a few fat stubborn fat cells.  Vaser is not some miracle cure all to weight loss, and shouldn’t be treated as such.

I hope you found this article on vaser liposuction helpful and useful.
