Has anyone from the UK had any success with private healthcare insurance to help with costs associated with cosmetic limb lengthening?

Perusing through AXA's healthcare leaflets the following stands out:

4.7 > Cosmetic surgery
We do not cover:
•    Cosmetic treatment or cosmetic surgery.
•    Treatment that is connected to previous cosmetic treatment or cosmetic surgery


My thoughts were if a GP or a specialist determined it would benefit well being and the patient is suffering mental anguish on a daily basis it wouldn't be deemed cosmetic?
I am fully aware the likelihood of this is next to nothing but having read diaries from some of the Yanks on the forum it appears some have managed to get their x rays etc reimbursed/paid for by their insurance companies.

Any brits had similar luck?

You're a picnic short of a sandwich. Stop being such a big girl's blouse.

Everyone has their own reasons for CLL and so do I.

There is loads of 5"8 guys who have had this surgery performed on this forum I don't see what the problem is?

I have no need or desire for a fast car or a big house but I do have a desire to be content with my body...is that such an awful thing?
