Sometimes: If the implants are being use to correct a deformity such as after breast cancer then yes. For cosmetic purposes no.

Implants-insurance: The only time breast implants are covered by insurance is if they are used for reconstructive purposes, e.g,, after breast removal (mastectomy) for cancer, or for a birth defect.

It depends: Implants for reconstructive problems, like breast reconstruction after mastectomy, would be covered. Implants for purely cosmetic concerns, like wanting a larger breast size, would not be typically covered by insurance. Best to speak with a board-certified plastic surgeon about your concerns.
