Does your insurance cover plastics?  Some insurances cover reconstructive surgery, under which skin removal may be a covered expense.

I'm not familiar with any insurance that covers elective plastic surgery.  There generally has to be health issues associated with the skin that needs removing.

First, contact your insurance to see what coverage you have and their requirements.  Then start meeting with doctors that take your coverage.

You've asked this question several times. Search through your old posts. I thought you were trying to get a WLS revision first?

If your insurance covers reconstructive surgery, they can give you a list of doctors they will cover.  You really need to be asking them this question.  We cannot tell you who would take your insurance and who would not.  Call your plan's customer service and ask them for a list of requirements, ask them who they cover and then go from there.
