I am unaware of any insurance company which covers thigh and arm lifts. You would have to check with your medical insurance provider to determine if they are listed in your certificate of coverage.
Unfortunately, even in massive weight loss patients insurance has stopped covering these procedures. This is why most of us try to do these as out patients in our own accredited facilities. I would suggest coming in for a consultation to see what your options are. Very often it's not as costly as you think and most plastic surgeons don't charge for the initial consultation. You might try calling your insurance company to see who is on your plan. God luck, Dr. Schuster in Boca Raton.
Thanks for your question, bella3030.Unfortunately, these surgeries are purely cosmetic procedures, so they are seldom covered by insurance.

There are many such surgeons, especially in the Miami area.Best of luck!
