Will insurance pay for any of this? And can this procedure be on a woman who has had cesarean surgery?

Question

How many times will a patient need for the stomach

Sheila S. Nazarian, MD · Answer

Insurance does not cover this procedure because this is a cosmetic procedure. My office offers care credit to help with the cost.  c-section surgery is not a contraindication if the area has healed and there is no hernia present.

Best of luck, Sheila Nazarian

I appreciate your question.Coolsculpting is safe in areas of previous surgery as long as no hernia is presentInusrance does not cover thisThe best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Unfortunately insurance won't cover this procedure.  Prior surgery in the abdominal area won't hinder your ability to have this procedure, but a physical exam is critical to ensure there are not other reasons such as a hernia that would prevent you from having this procedure.I would recommend that you go a plastic surgeon who offers this procedure as they can also discuss other alternatives for this procedure.

Unfortunately insurance does not cover cosmetic procedures. A C section would not disqualify you from having the procedure. Be sure to see  qualified certified CoolSculpting practice to determine if you are a suitable candidate. Good luck!
