Health Insurance

Hey, I'm just wondering what the best medical insurance company is that may assist with costs of cosmetic surgery, whether it be BA or rhinoplasty, etc. I may be getting a BA revision in the next 12 months and am also considering rhinoplasty. Now that I'm finally working again, I figure I can plan ahead and pay into something that may be able to give back in terms of what I want.

Hi hun, oh no another ba revision, are you not happy with your down size ? Im not 100 sure but i dont think you are covered for anything related to cosmetic surgery these days unless its medically necessary so if your Rhinoplasty is fir medical reasons then yes i think some of it will be covered as to which are the best health funds I'd shop around a bit to see which one will be better value to you for what you need, i used Iselect and Compare the market to help me compare health funds.

I'm actually really happy with my downsize but every now and then I miss my bigger implants. I'd say 90% of the time I'm happy. I don't know if I'd actually bother with a revision to increase the size again, especially seeing as I felt 'top heavy' with the 350's. I wish I could just swap between the 2 sizes when the occasion called for it haha. But I am looking into getting private health cover and I figure a future surgery is a possibility so want to get myself the best cover!

I’ve been looking at Private Health a lot lately and it doesn’t look like any cosmetic surgery is covered at all (not even hospital fees) unless it is required such as a breast reconstruction after a mastectomy for example.

Any surgery that you choose to do such as augmentation is not covered at all, and I believe it was all stopped in Oct this year.

@Stemschicky is correct all health funds stopped covering BAs unless it's post breast cancer breast reconstruction. As for other surgeries, again if they are not "medically" necessary they won't be covered. Sorry.
