Would my abdominal scar revision be covered by insurance? (photo)

justino89
I recently lost 40lb over a year and I went to an office for a liposuction consolutation and my visit showed that I had very little abdominal fat and it was mostly scar tissue. The skin underneath my scar has fused to the muscle and the doctor told me I would benefit from a abdominal scar revision but the surgery would basically be a tummy tuck. Would the pain of the fused skin make me eligible for insurance coverage? If it only covered partially, what would my out of pocket most likely be?
