r/abdominoplasty

So first off I can afford a TT with lipo.

MONEY ISNT A PROBLEM.

I kind of want more for clothing and trips I wouldn't do before a TT

However the whole point of this is I want a TT!

I have had a hangy tummy since I was 15! At my very skinniest 99lbs i had a pouch.

Now at 35 I have had a c section lost over 100lbs and its worse obvi.

The Insurance I have will not cover anything unless my skin hangs past my vagina. Even if I only weighed 100lbs my skin would not hang that low sadly. I wish it would. This economy is crazy.

As a girl who just wants to wear a swim suit. To not look pregnant in everything I wear. And feel ok in my body again.

And Kind of have the body I had before my c section.

Do i really need the lipo.?

I am already thick. I just wanna be me without the over hang lol 😆

Ive been big

I've been skinny

Right now I am just in the middle with excess skin from weight loss. I just deep down want that gone.

Hubby and I talked it over and if after a few years I still want lipo we will do it after.

Even a TT would be a big big difference for me.

Please let me know your experience. And please share pics.

Thank you thank you!!

I need help and would appreciate any recommendations. I am looking for surgeon recommendations for a tummy tuck, lipo 360, and possibly arms as well. My budget is around 20k but I’m having the hardest time finding someone at a reasonable price that has decent reviews. Any and all recommendations are helpful.

Just wondering 🤔 I have been told I am a good candidate for insurance to cover the panniculectomy in the past. Working with this surgeon to see what he thinks.

Did insurance cover any of your surgery?

Was it a hard fight to get insurance to help?

As the title says, I’m coming up to 5 weeks PO and still am a bit hunched and not standing straight after 360 tummy tuck with MR.

I have a foam pad on my stomach under my faja. Could the tightness of this and my faja be setting back my recovery?

I’m almost 9 wks po from tt with MR and hernia repair. Also had my breast implants replaced. I’ve been very fatigued since surgery. Been released from surgeon to lift weights and do what I want basically. Still need to get my core strength back. But this fatigue and kinda feel down sometimes is terrible. I don’t think some of my family members get it. Guess they think cuz it’s plastic surgery, you’re all good. Anyone else?

Hi there-I have a full tummy tuck no muscle repair or lipo scheduled in a few months and looking for others who have had the same and what you thought about your results. Love? Hate? Regrets? Any advice or suggestions also very much appreciated. Thanks!

so I am 10 mpo from tt no muscle repair with bb relocated and I still have trouble standing more than 5 minutes at a time. My skin in the front feels like it’s not long enough to let my body freely stand without that tug and my upper back kills me . I also still have that rope feeling around my waste with sensation in my belly .. Does it ever go away or straighten out?

I am considering a tummy tuck and muscle repair. I’m self conscious about my stretched skin. I am already slim and work out 4 time a week. It’s getting me down that my stomach looks the way it does. I’m away to be 48 is this too old to get one. Also did anyone have one with a small amount of lose skin so
Had to have a small vertical line. Of so would they mind sharing pics?
