Panniculectomy (removal of loose skin) is covered following bariatric surgery for a medical condition only when specific medical criteria are met (contact Customer Service at 1-888-849-3681). Most panniculectomies are considered cosmetic and are not covered.
If you decide to pay for this surgery yourself, most plastic surgeons require that you wait two to three years following significant weight loss before performing skin removal surgery. This is because the skin tends to tighten somewhat over time.
