Hello!!

I'm looking for reputable, insurance approved plastic surgeons in Michigan!

I hope to be able to get my insurance to cover my breast and tummy by my Blue Cross PPO plan.

If anyone has any referrals.....please let me know!!!!

They will cover? Awesome! I may have to move there.

Depends on the employer purchasing the plan

Go to the u if you're near Ann Arbor of course

I went to Ellen Janetzke in Birmingham, and had my surgery at Beaumont Royal Oak. I think I have had a good outcome, so far. I'm just 4 weeks out, and not totally healed. I had lower body lift, and brachioplasty. I'll be going back for a thigh lift, and breast lift/augmentation. There are lots of sites out there where patients rate plastic surgeons. I also suggest talking to more that one to see what they offer and suggest.

I'd found Dr Pramit Malhotra (Ann Arbor, MI and Jackson, MI) on realself but when I called they said BCBSM wouldn't cover my tummy tuck and it would be $6800 out of pocket

They suggested I check with my WLS surgeon as they could get insurance to cover better although I have no idea why.

My understanding is that they will cover if you have issues due to the remaining skin, ie rashes, irritation, etc. (I'm in Michigan too. Yay!)

I think it just depends on your insurance. Mine covered the abdominoplasty. Everything else is self pay.
