Flap surgery is done for many reasons. Cosmetic correction is just one of them. But to the best of my understanding dental procedures are still not covered under most insurance plans available in India. Some of the major surgical procedures of the Jaws are still covered but you need to check with your insurance provider for the best opinion. Regards.
