Has anyone ever had insurance pay for brachioplasty or thighlift???

I had a tummy tuck done years ago and it was covered by my insurance but my legs and arms have so much hanging skin. Its hard to wear anything that shows my legs or arms and at this time I can afford it on my own so I was just wondering if there was ever any way insurance pays for it.

Thank you

There's a woman in my support group who got her thigh lift covered, but she also has a skin condition that was basically causing her excess skin to become necrotic. So... not a normal situation!

I have been on OH since 2007. Since then I do remember a handful of people who have gotten arms or thighs covered, but definitely not many.
