Whether or not your insurance pays for your body lift will depend on your insurance coverage as well as the reason for the procedure. Purely cosmetic body lifts are generally not covered by insurance. However, some insurance plans may cover some of the costs associated with a body lift procedure if there is a medical need and the patient meets certain criteria. This includes patients who have lost significant weight (often through bariatric surgery) and have problems related to leftover excess skin. If you have questions about whether or not insurance will pay for some or all of your body lift, you should speak to your insurance provider.
