Body Procedure

Pre Operative Question Answer

Will insurance cover the cost of a body lift procedure?

When it comes to insurance coverage for body lift procedures, it’s essential to note that it primarily depends on the specific insurance plan you have. In general, most insurance companies do not consider body lift procedures as medically necessary and therefore may not cover the costs associated with them. Body lifts are typically regarded as elective cosmetic surgeries, focusing on contouring and tightening loose skin after significant weight loss or aging. However, it’s worth noting that some insurance plans may offer coverage if the procedure is deemed medically necessary, such as in cases where excess skin causes functional impairments or chronic skin infections. To determine whether your insurance will cover the cost, it is advisable to consult directly with your insurance provider and review the terms of your plan.
