Default Will my health insurance cover anything Cosmetic related?

I have Blue Shield PPO, and was wondering if anyone has had experience dealing with them when it comes to cosmetic surgery. Do they cover all or some of the cost? I know I can always call and ask my provider, but I just wanted to get some feedback from others who have dealt with this. Thank You!

Insurance will not cover run of the mill surgery to improve your
appearance. Only exclusions would be if you could prove a
procedure needed to be done to improve physical health or mental health following traumatic injury/surgery. Examples:
eyelid surgery would be covered if they droop so badly they interfere with vision, breast reduction may be covered if you can ascertain large breasts are causing back and neck aches, breast implants might be covered following a mastectomy.
