Yes, that was what I was suggesting. I can of course not give financial advices on how to save for it or where to lend money. But just saying the obvious, the health care systems, or in your case the military is not doing this to offer you plastic surgery. If they offer you a surgery it's because they see a medical problem, which I'm sure they'll be able to fix.
What you seem to be looking for is to maximize the aesthetic result. This is why you're having a conflict with your doctors. They are surely able to handle the medical aspects, but you want someone like Gunson to perform it, which is not gonna happen. Am I right that you're mainly doing this for aesthetic reasons, or what medical concerns do you have that you don't think they'll be able to handle for you?
Hey I apologize, I wasn't trying to sound rude with the way I wrote that. Yeah you're right, it's definitely not for plastic
surgery. However, they told me that it's considered elective, since they don't classify it as being medically necessary.
If that makes a difference in the way they decide on which surgical methods & procedures to use, I don't know. That's what
I'm trying to find out. (but I'm pretty sure though, they look at it from a functional aspect)
Yeah that's what I am concerned with primarily, aesthetics. And just like you said, they can surely handle the medical aspect. But as
soon as I found out it was a residency facility, that's when I started having all these conflicting concerns about them addressing the
main thing I wanted to be focused on.
I've been trying to get a referral from my Primary Care Manager to go in-network and see Relle. But it
seems like I'm going to end up having to be treated at a military facility. So I'm trying to think of
ways to have the best odds possible.
I was going to get multiple consults from top OMFS's, then bring them in with me to my consult with the military
OMFS. I'm also trying to figure out how I should go about bringing up my main concern of aesthetics to them. I don't think they
would disqualify me from treatment over it, but I want to try and let them know that it's a very important factor for me in
doing this. What would you say.
