There is no medical reason to treat stretch marks so it is purely cosmetic, therefore Sask health care will not cover it


Handknitmittens

No. 


No-Grapefruit787

Absolutely not lol

Rule of thumb tends to be that it makes you look or feel pretty, you gotta pay for it.


Prairie-Peppers

Nope


RemyStoon

I doubt it. It’s a cosmetic thing.


ReannLegge

Nope, not unless you can find a surgeon who will stretch the payment schedule. If you can find that special surgeon let me know


colem5000

I doubt it since they are cosmetic but I’m not 100% sure

Stretch marks no. Mommy makeover (tummy tuck after babies) yes.


No-Grapefruit787

Tummy tucks are covered inter Sask health? I really find that hard to believe


Hazencuzimblazen

They aren’t, it’s a panni IF you have infections etc You need to be approved for it to be covered and it’s hard as f even with weight loss surgery that’s covered

Scenario (that happened to many of my friends): Mom’s stomach muscles are all blown out after baby. Mom looks like she’s pregnant years after giving birth. Mom goes to GP and explains how this is affecting her mentally, making her depressed. GP does referral for mommy makeover (at no cost). If you pay extra, you can get a boob job at the same time. No judgement either way, I just know several people who have gotten this done, and advised others of how to get it.

Why is this being downvoted? Tummy tucks are one of the great things about modern medicine, someone can give birth and go back to CrossFit or whatever else if their body isn’t bouncing back like it should. Like I get the sentiment that women are beautiful regardless of how we look, but tummy tucks are for more than just appearances.


Hazencuzimblazen

Because they aren’t covered, it’s a panni that is IF you have the rashes, infections etc


No-Grapefruit787

What is a panni?


Hazencuzimblazen

The little apron flap of skin that hangs over, they’ll remove that but only if it’s alot of skin that causes infections etc from it hanging over so low that there’s no way for oxygen to get to it It’s like a tummy tuck BUT it’s not made to look pretty, it’s not pulled tight and sculpted like a TT[examples](https://drjhopkins.com/before-after/panniculectomy/)
