It is considered reconstructive plastic surgery and insurance will probably pay for it since you did the weight loss all by yourself. I won't gaurentee the insurance thing though.

Unfortunately the excess skin can not be donated to burn victims because it has so stretched. It has basically lost it's viability.

Many people that lose 100+ pounds have this problem, men and women. I look forward to it, except for the droopy boobie thing.
