Insurance coverage for Botox
May 2, 2016
I would contact your insurance carrier to determine what their medical policy is for the coverage of Botox.   I have had one patient that we were able to obtain coverage for injections due to his TMJ diagnosis.  Unfortunately, many carriers do not cover this service but it would be worth a phone call to them to inquire.

Liposuction - garment use
Mar 17, 2016
I typically recommend my patients wear their garments for 4 - 6 weeks post operatively depending on the procedure.   As far as pain; there will be discomfort following the procedure that can be managed with pain medication.   The majority of my patients discontinue their narcotics within 48 hours of surgery and switch to Ibuprofen as needed.
