I'm almost 18 years old, I lost a lost of weight weight, 80lbs in about 2 months. My weight gain was due to side effects of meds I was on for almost 2 years (Depakote and Zyprexa). At my biggest I was 210lbs and now I weigh 125lbs. I'm self conscious and embarrassed of my breasts; they look disgusting and saggy. Is there any way my insurance (BC/BS) would cover a breast lift?

Answer: Breast lift insurance coverage after weight loss When bariatric surgery was a novelty, some carriers covered a variety of what would be considered cosmetic procedures after significant weight loss. However, now that lap banding and other procedures are much more common, they have cracked down. I know of no NY company that would pay for a lift even given that your weight gain was induced by medication prescribed for treatment of a medical condition. Best of luck!
