If you get fat and skin removal for weight loss, is it deductible?  Specifically through SonoBello.

    A cosmetic procedure is not an eligible medical expense that can be deducted on a tax return.

    Ok.  Is that true even if the person is obese?

    Only if it was medically necessary and prescribed by a doctor would the procedure be an eligible medical expense.
