On the whole, my insurance is very good. Mine will cover eyelid lifts, if needed. The only real clash we've had was about DNA testing, which is approved on a case by case basis, and they wouldn't approve the test for me. It worked out ok, in spite of that. The only other conflict we've had, involved where I was to go to get my CT scans done. We got that sorted out, and I can go where I choose.

Thing is, they are not lifts, they cut out skin. Oh yes they do. I have a picture I could share, but don't wa t to scare cap..the dr. told me it would look worse than feel. That this particular procedure doesn't hurt that bad. He was right! A lot, a lot, if swelling at first.

Good morning up late again not sleeping at night so when I do go I sleep half the morning Like my grey hair like my wrinkles think I earned them

Um, lifts almost always involve cutting out extra skin, regardless of what is being lifted.

 

[pennyJo1960]

makes sense to me if there is extra they wouldn't want to fold it over

 

[getaclue]

On stomachs, depending on the amount of excess, they can sometimes fold it over, but on smaller areas, especially with thinner skin, they can't.

Blech.

Made me change my mind from tacos to tostadas for lunch. Having a hard time with foldovers.

Do you get to keep the extra skin, in case you need a patch somewhere else ?

My doctor told me what he plans to do . I am getting a brow lift and eyelid surgery. Lots of cutting involved, about 6" incision along the hair line alone. I will do what they say and take my meds as scheduled. Not scared. They can carve off my belly if they are bored!

Maybe they will pickle it for me!
