 MA Member Since: 03/15/08 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 3/15/08 5:12 pm I was wondering how many patients needed pastic sugery after the weight loss for excess skin removal. Does everyone have excess skin or does it depend on the amount of weight loss or the the amount of time it takes to lose it. Do some insurance companies cover this?  |

The amount of weightloss, age, elasticity and time you are obese will play in the amount of extra skin but nothing is 100%. Some insurance companies will cover "reconstructive" surgery but I dont know of any that will cover cosmetic...

Its just a matter of what you can or cannot live with. Some insurance companies do - it depends on *your* plan. |
