Insurance And Plastic Surgery



Recommended Posts

I have a question Dos anyone knows if insurance pays for any plastic surgery after losing weight? I have Medicaid and live in New Jersey. I will really appreciate if anyone can help me with this. Thanks

Some will pay if your gut skin hanging down is causing a serious rash...otherwise no.

I am wondering the same thing it would be great if insurance would pay for skin removal because girdles only remind you that fat is still there and I find it difficult to eat with them on.

I live in New Jersey too and have the same insurance. If you find anything out about it can you let me know. I know I am going to need a Tummy Tuck after loosing the weight because of the excess skin and I know I could never afford it. Thanks.
