Thank you for your question. Unfortunately liposuction is not deemed "medically necessary" by insurance companies and they will not cover the costs of the procedure.

Hello and thank you for reaching out. Insurance companies will not pay for any liposuction what so ever. It is not a medical necessity, so cannot be covered. Best Wishes.
