I Have Had 5 Pregnancies, with One Being Quintuplets. I Am Fight my Insurance About Getting my Muscle Walls Fixed. Suggestions?

Since my insurance wont pay, I cant afford to get all of it fixed on my own. What should I get fixed immediately and is there anything I can do to help. I have a hard time getting out of my bed due to lack of muscles in my stomach. My back hurts all the time since its doing the work that my stomach muscles should do. I get infections due to the flap being so long and it rubbing. I have done physical therapy and they said until I get my muscles fixed, they cant help. I am lost and needing relief.

A: Insurance Company Unlikely To Help With Muscle Repair

It is very unlikely that your insurance company will cover the muscle repair of your diastasis recti.  If you cannot afford the cost of a tummy tuck, check with the Resident's Clinic at U. of L.  They might be able to perform your surgery at a reuce4d cost.

What Are The Different Types of Tummy Tuck? What Is Best For My Case After Massive Weight Loss?

I have heard the tummy tuck called extended, anchor cut, fleur de lis and full abdominalplasty. Can you explain the difference in these, when they are use and if there is a cost difference between them. Can any of them be used when having a lower body lift? I had open RNY bypass surgery six years ago and lost 150 lbs. I am now considering plastics to finish what I started. Tess

A: Lower Body Lift Often Best Procedure After Massive Weight Loss

A regular tummy tuck does not address the excess skin in the flank areas, buttocks, lateral thighs, and back.  Significant amounts of the excess skin in these areas can be removed, however, with a lower body lift.  This procedure extends the tummy tuck incision circumferentially and is a much bigger operation and is more costly.
