   You raise an interesting question in that in order for medicare to cover the procedure a doctor will have to certify that the procedure is "medically necessary" and not just a "cosmetic procedure. On the back of your membership card there should be a "customer service #> You can call that number and tell them the procedure yuo are going to have done and they will tell you if the procedure is covered. If this is a "cosmetic procedure and not "medically necessary" I think you will find the procedure is not covered
