### Human:\nis it ever possible for one's liposuction to be declared medically necessary? . i know from reading similar postings that sometimes one's insurance can pay for this procedure but what i want to know is can it ever be considered medically necessary?\n\n### Assistant: cosmetic procedures can be deemed medically necessary though in most cases they're not. sometimes surgery to remove excess skin after a large weight loss is a covered benefit. it's hard to imagine however that liposuction would meet criteria. in order for it to be covered your doctor would need to provide a medical justification for the procedure and then you'd need with your insurer to see if it meets with requirements.
