 Has any bodie been able to get there thighplasty covered by insurance from overlap of skin which cause rashes and splitting of skin. I had a tummy tuck that was approved they removed 5lbs of skin in my middle section and then the tighted the my abdomin wall muscles just wondering how hard is it to get insurance approval and has anyone been able to get it approved

The only things I have seen people get coverage for is a panniculectomy, and breast reduction. And even those are rare.

I have seen a few over the years get their thighs covered, but not many. I believe jazzyone9254 had hers covered.

Thighs are almost impossible to get covered (same with arms). It does happen...but it's rare, and there is usually a LOT of documentation.

I tried to get my thighs covered. My insurance paid for a lower body lift and a upper body lift (basically)....but couldn't get my thighs covered.
