Just curious... does insurance cover any Excess skin removal due to massive weightloss?

If you have excessive weight loss with complications like repeated rashes and irritation for tummy skin hanging below your pubic area may be covered but I would say the majority do not.

I have had an extended Tummy Tuck with front and back Lipo and i paid for it all.

Check with your insurance company for their criteria.

Merry Christmas to all!

I have Anthem Blue Cross & they just paid for my abdominal skin removal (panniculectomy) and my breast reduction/lift after losing 70 pounds. If you have had any rashes (under abdominal fold or under breasts) or skin irritation go to your primary doc & have it medically documented...this will help A LOT, As will complaints of back/neck/shoulder pain from hanging and/or oversized breasts.

Sadly...mine wasn't covered. I didn't think the breast lift and augmentation would be but I tried for the Tummy Tuck since I had some irritation but I it wasn't. Of course my band wasn't covered either. I have Aetna.

My band was covered due to my sleep apnea & BMI :-) I have Anthem Blue Cross

My breast reduction/lift was covered but they would NOT pay for it if I had elected to have augmentation (implants). I teetered back & forth with paying for the augmentation so I'd have that upper fullness that looks so nice but after praying about it & the more & more I thought about it, seemed weird to get a reduction & then get falsies put in....my point of wanting it is to be smaller & I didn't want to have revisions & more surgeries later. So far I'm happy with my results & a good push up bra should give me plenty upper fullness....I'm still a D (from a G).
