I have non alcoholic fatty liver disease. Would my insurance pay for liposuction?

Question

Would my insurance likely pay for liposuction to rid this stubborn deposit of belly fat?

Stephen T. Greenberg, MD, FACS · Answer

Hi there and thanks for your question and answers!  Unfortunately insurance does not cover liposuction despite your medical conditions. Liposuction is an elective cosmetic procedure to contour the body and remove stubborn fat.  I suggest an in-person consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon for more information. Best of luck!

Insurance would not pay for liposuction nor it is the likely treatment for removing NAFLD stubborn belly fat.  Non-surgical solution such as diets, exercise and changing lifestyle are recommended as first priority before considering other options.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

No, it is unlikely insurance will pay for liposuction. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF/J Plasma/Renuvion/InMode BodyTite and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Regardless of medical condition, liposuction is not covered as a treatment modality.  Additionally, if you have deep visceral fat, lipo may not be an option.  To assess viability of any procedure, see a board certified plastic surgeon.
