Does any health insurance cover mommy makeover?

Mommy makeovers are considered cosmetic procedures, not medical necessities; and are, therefore, not covered by health insurance.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Insurance will pay for a hernia repair almost always. They will not pay for diastasis recti repair. They will pay for a breast reduction if you meet the criteria. They will not pay for an augmentation or lift. They may pay for a panniculectomy if you skin hanging over 2 inches. This is not a tummy tuck. They will not pay for a tummy tuck or mommy makeover.

A mommy makeover is typically for cosmetic reasons, so health insurance doesn’t usually cover it. However, you can always ask your provider to see if they do. When asking, you’ll need to specify exactly what procedures will be done of your mommy makeover. For example, it may be a tummy tuck, breast lift and breast augmentation.

insurances consider what happens to the female body after having children a normal condition therefore a mommy make over is not a covered procedure.

Unfortunately, the answer to this question is no.  Mommy makeover is considered a cosmetic procedure.  However, many offices have good financing options available to patients.  I would encourage you to find a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.  Good luck!

No. Unfortunately mommy makeover is not covered by insurance. A mommy makeover consists of a tummy tuck and some type of breast rejuvenation surgery, which are both cosmetic procedures. To learn more about a mommy makeover procedure, make sure you contact board-certified plastic surgeons for consultation.

Thank you for your question.  Unfortunately, if the procedures your looking to get are strictly cosmetic they will not be covered by insurance.

Cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance, however if part of your surgery is a procedure such as a breast reduction, that might be covered. Ask your surgeon if any of your procedures might be a covered procedure. Good luck!

I have heard that New York State teachers can get cosmetic procedures covered in the health plan. Depending on what you are looking for, breast reduction is covered by insurance if you meet certain criteria.

Not any health insurance plans that I heard of. But if you discover one, let us know! Health insurance will cover plastic surgery that is medically necessary. At this time, a "mommy makeover" is not deemed medically necessary.
