C) Will not qualify

Unnecessary cosmetic surgery costs directed solely at improving the patient's physical appearance typically do not qualify as medical expense deductions. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) generally considers cosmetic surgery to be a non-deductible expense unless it is deemed medically necessary for the treatment or correction of a specific medical condition. Cosmetic procedures that are purely for aesthetic purposes are not eligible for tax deductions.
