Would a Breast Lift Be Covered if I Have Hidradenitis Supp?

There are biologic, immune
modulating, and surgical treatments for Hidradenitis. In my office, we
begin by controlling the onset of HS and the longterm scarring is
mitigated. Treatments for hidradenitis scarring are many including
topical treatment protocols and laser therapy.

Thanks for your inquiry.  My first thought is your insurance company probably would not, but seeking a board certified plastic surgeon in your community who could submit a pre-determination to your insurance company  would not be an unreasonable idea.  Remember if you seek the opinion of a surgeon for a medical condition which generates a medical determination, you will most likely be charged an office visit and all deductibles and copays would apply for office visits and procedures.  By going to such a consultation you could also learn the costs if your insurance does not cover the procedure.  Good luck.

No, this would not be covered. Only excision of the diseased tissue would be covered. You might be able to combine these procedures however.
