I would only if it was for reconstructive surgery in the event of breast cancer where a mastectomy was necessary. But, for cosmetic surgery, no. I have never felt it was wise to put those things in your body. If I had adult children, I would allow them to live at home rent free to save their money while working if that's what they really wanted. But, when they broke and needed replacements....sorry but I still would not pay for it and by then they would probably be much too old to live at home. So, this could be a problem as from what I understand it's not a matter of if they break but when.

Well then, you're in luck. Breast recontruction after breast cancer is covered by insurance and has been for quite a few years now.

No need for the snark, I had no idea it was covered. Wonderful news though for those who need this information!!

it's been covered for almost 20 years...........I wouldn't expect you to know that kitty, unless you had had BC.........I have had BC, and almost as soon as I had gotten home from the hospital, I received a letter from our insurance and I get one every year,since....but I didn't know till I got that letter......I wouldn't do an implant, I'd have done an abdominal flap however, if I had needed it.................................raven

Same here, only if it was for someone that had breast cancer. But yes that is now covered by insurance.
Otherwise, no.
And i might add I wouldn't pay for it for myself either if I just wanted it for looks.
PS I am a 5 &3/4 years breast cancer survivor. I had a lumpectomy w radiation so I didn't need reconstruction and I pray I never do!

If I was very wealthy and could easily afford to help, I would.

If I had a daughter who was suffering emotionally........I would pay for any cosmetic procedure to help; i.e., nose job, teeth straightening, ear pinning, etc.

I think breast implants do not fall into the same category as the others, imo.
