Although the treatment for your ovarian cyst should probably be covered by your insurance (you will need to check the specifics of your policy), tummy tuck surgery is considered cosmetic.

Sometimes patients who have had previous surgery may have hernias of the abdominal wall that will require correction during the time of the tummy tuck etc.Insurance will cover the cost of the removal of the ovarian cyst.Good luckregards,Dr. Ravi Somayazula

Those two procedures can be performed at the same time. Keep in mind that the cosmetic portion of the surgery- since it is elective- will most likely- not be covered by your insurance. But you can always read your policy.
