Breast reduction & abdominal liposuction/or tummy tuck, following treatment for Cushing's syndrome?

Only an inquiry tear insurance company will give you a final answer but I would be pessimistic about them covering any part of it your previous medical history notwithstanding.

In order to find out if your insurance will cover the cost of some or all of a corrective surgical procedure you must first schedule an insurance consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who will document and submit your findings and issues to your insurance company. The insurance company will then need to inform the surgeon if you are approved or denied and you will proceed from there. Congratulations on your dramatic weight loss! I suggest that even if your insurance does not cover the procedure costs, to get the surgery anyway. After accomplishing the feat of 60 lbs weight drop, you deserve to really feel good about yourself!Good luck in your quest and thank you for your question!Melinda Lacerna, MD, FACS

hello. thanks for the question, very interesting.  in Dominican Republic insurance does not cover this type of surgery, but I recommend you visit  an accredited plastic surgeon in the  united state who give  you a budget and take it to the insure company, you never know. Best wishes

Congratulations on your weight loss!  If you've reached your goal weight (you are no longer losing weight), you may be a great candidate for a breast reduction and tummy tuck/lipo.   Unfortunately, it is very unlikely private insurance will cover these procedures despite your history.  Insurance companies deem tummy tucks and/or liposuction as not medically necessary (cosmetic).  There is a possibility that your breast reduction could be covered by your insurance however.   Please visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more about your options.  Best wishes,Dr. BasuHouston, TX

Congratulations on your significant weight loss; you should be very proud of this accomplishment! Ultimately, only direct communication with your insurance company will allow you and your plastic surgeon to determine whether the insurance company will cover the planned procedures, given your somewhat unusual history/situation. Best wishes.

Very impressed that you have been so diligent in losing your Cushings weight and getting your life back. Congrats. The tough news is that most insurance companies will likely see this as cosmetic rather than reconstructive, but it never hurts to see a plastic surgeon and send the insurance company the request. My advice is to get on the phone after the request and push them. There are many different specialists, always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.  Internet conversations do not replace proper consultation with you doctor and examination. Best of luck to you and congrats on your recovery.
