Tummy Tuck

Has anybody here had a tummy tuck after surgery?  Is there anyway to get BCBSAL to pay for it?  I would assume not, unless you had terrible rashes or other medical problems.
The extra skin from the apron looks painful.  I hope it's not.

I am having a lower body lift November 9th.  I am paying for it myself.  I have BCBS and my policy does cover excess skin removal, but the guidelines are pretty strict to get coverage....the skin has to hang pretty badly and/or you have to have documented proof of health issues related to it.  I do not meet the criteria.

The best thing to do is contact your insurance company for specifics on what they cover.  Also, check out the plastic surgery forum here on OH.
