Will your insurance company cover a?

Question

breast lift if it's because you lost a lot of weight after surgery? I know some do I am just trying to figure of if they see that as cosmetics even if you have lost an excessive amount of weight.

Answer 1

Because your surgery is needed for cosmetic reasons, the vast majority of insurers won't cover such a procedure.  In order for a procedure like this to be covered, it must be medically necessary AND the policy must provide a benefit for the surgery (some insurers exclude breast reductions from coverage, whether they're medically necessary or not).

Answer 2

Fewer and fewer companies are  covering cosmetic surgery.

But if your surgeon would certify that if it is not done it poses a hazard to your health, then.........maybe.

  Last summer I had a condition which  was almost cosmetic in nature, but my surgeon convinced them it would pose a hazard if not done.   They approved it. Talk to your surgeon.

Answer 3

You will have a hard time getting covered for that as you will have to prove medical necessity first.
