Hi all,

Has anyone had any luck getting there insurance to pay for loose skin plastic surgery? Just curious if any insurance covers it?

I haven't tried to get plastics yet.  What I have heard is that it takes a lot of documentation with a doctor, plus photos of the rashes that form.

Hugs,

Trish

As far a loose skin surgery .......it has to be a medical necessity. If there is a lot of loose skin and it affects your walking, balance etc.....also documentation for rashes and definitely pictures and statements from your surgeon...they then may do it. Insurance really doesn't want to do this surgery because it is considered cosmetic.

Good Luck...Hugs.....connie d
