medical deductions

[BobbieTennis]

Can cosmetic surgery be covered if some of it was paid for by insurance as deemed necessary? 

[Karis_F]

It depends. According to IRS Publication 502:

You can include in medical expenses the amount you pay for cosmetic surgery if it is necessary to improve a deformity arising from, or directly related to, a congenital abnormality, a personal injury resulting from an accident or trauma, or a disfiguring disease.

Note that only out-of-pocket medical expenses can be included as itemized deductions on Schedule A of Form 1040.
