Does insurance cover Fleur de lis surgery?

I would have to say that tummy tuck procedures are always self-pay, even though there may be as much as 1% of cases where the surgeon can find a reason for medical need that can be submitted to the patient’s insurance. But, like the others said, be careful if you are told that it may be covered since the insurance company can deny it.

No. Insurance companies do not cover tummy tuck surgeries no matter the incision. It is always considered a cosmetic procedure. Best, Dr. Nazarian

In some situations a surgeon can highlight a medical need - such as chronic skin infections - for panniculectomy.  In most cases, however, it is considered cosmetic in nature and not covered by insurance.  Seek out a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.  Good luck!
