Specific Cosmetic Surgery Deduction
We have a client who had gastric bypass and is now much thinner and healthier than she was previously. She had it done several years ago, and has maintained the new healthier lifestyle, kept the weight off, etc.
She is now interested in having cosmetic surgery because her extra skin not only doesn't look great, but is actually physically uncomfortable and affecting her quality of life.
Is there any circumstance where this could be deductible under medical? I know cosmetic is nearly always 100% no-go, but I didn't know if this could possibly qualify based on the lifestyle change, being physically uncomfortable, etc. vs. the more common cosmetic stuff - breast implants, botox, etc.
