body dismorpic disorder and plastic
Honestly, I would think any plastic surgery would be deemed off limits by your psych. until the BDD was under control for an extended period of time. Are you finding that to be the case?

If I had that diagnosis, I would want to keep it OFF the record.

When the panni is very large and hangs down too far the girlie parts get hidden. So really what I have read is about someone who had a very large long pannis and the sexual dysfunction was secondary to the hanging pannis. You know it really all depends on your insurance plan.
Think of it in terms of preparing a case for submission. You have to research what constitutes medical necessity and then you have to document that you meet that definition. You should make a list of the ways the hanging skin effects you and all the ways the hanging skin makes you sick. One list should back up the other. Then start getting those issues treated as medical conditions and get them documented in your medical records. Never, ever try to self treat anything that is connected to the excess skin. If you self treat you will not have the documentation necessary for insurance. Whatever the issues most insurance want to know it is an on-going issue that is not resolved by less invasive treatment. So that means going to the doctor over a period of time. Dr. LoMonaco has written a couple of articles on getting insurance approval. You can find them on his website. http://www.drlomonaco.com/plastic-surgery-patient-resources. shtml

The non-physical stuff (rashes, infections) is justa harder sell these days. That does not diminish the psychological and sexual issues' importance, it's an insurance thing.
