Liposuction is considered an elective (cosmetic) surgical procedure, and you will not find Medicaid or any OTHER insurer willing to pay for the procedure. Your options include diet and exercise to reduce the excess amount of fatty tissue on your body.

Since there have been quite a number of deaths from lyposuction performed by unqualified surgeons, be sure to gat the names pf some for whom it has been done, then contact these people IN PERSON and make sure they have had no serious side effects.
Don't just look in the YELLOW PAGES and NEVER go to oneof those commercial clinics called names like
SUCKMASTER, iNC.

Insurance doesn't pay for cosmetic surgery. Not even welfare insurance (aka, medicaid).
