I don't really see how cosmetic surgery could ever be deemed a "necessity."
Medical necessity is based upon whether or not the medical procedure will enhance the individual's current quality of life or increase their chances for living. Women who have breast redux because of back or breathing problems get those and are approved by insurance companies because it is medically necessary.

I don't think sex change procedures are cosmetic
