   effective and less time consuming and thus the
   costs associated with it is also pretty high. The
   bad news lies in the fact that most of the
   medical insurance policies do not take this
   surgery as a part of the claim and thus are not
   covered by them as well.
2. Enhancement surgeries and follow-ups required
   for this surgery to reap the best of the
   benefits, this one needs enhancement surgeries
   so that the results are long-lasting and far more
   effective.
