Considering Getting Tummy Tuck at Post-Grad Cosmetic Surgery Fellowship Program in NYC, Is this the Right Route?

I am a 50yr old female considering a Tummy Tuck after 2 c-sections in my 20's my skin below my belly button is sagging. I am in fairly good health,(not on current meds except vitamins) In order not to be in debt at my age, I am considering doing my surgery at a post gradudate cosmetic surgery fellowship pgrm in NYC because it's affordable. However,I am not really sure if this is the route to go. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you
A: Who to use for a tommy tuck in New Jersey or New york?

I am assuming that the fellowship program is a legitimate program that follows a approved plastic surgery residency program. I that's the case then you know that at the fellows are have completed their plastic surgery residency and are board eligible in plastic surgery. You also know that the fellows are trained plastic surgeons but not experienced. I think it all depends on the talent of the individual fellows. There are surgeon s who no matter how much training they get they will never be great. This is a matter of talent. Not every person who goes and completes an art school becomes a great artist. I assume that this arrangement is a lot less expensive or may be you are not even paying the surgical fees, in which case it might be a compromise. Be careful and ask questions, so that you can at least get a good feeling that the fellow is good.

Can a Tummy Tuck Repair an OLD Wilms Tumor Scar? It is 38 Years Old and Anchored. Dr. Says It Will Be Complicated. (photo)

I had a wilms tumor at 4 months old and have always lived with the scar. I now would like a mommy makeover but afraid there will be complications with this old butchered scar!! It is probably attached and anchored to everythig in my body by now!! PLEASE HELP!! I had one consultation today and they said it would be VERY complicated! We can send a man to the moon...this has got to be a somewhat normal process so I can have a normal stomach by 40!!
A: Can I get a tummy tuck with big upper abdominal scat? I wish we could see your entire abdomen instead of a close up picture. From what I see you can not have the traditional tummy tuck. Your scar is indented which means your shin is attached to the muscle layer. The scan can be corrected By a scar revision. At the Sam time a complete liposuction of your abdomen could be done without undermining and if necessary excess skin could be removed above the pubic area. This should give you a result similar to a tummy tuck but unfortunately you would still have a visible scar on your upper abdomen. The scar revision should get read of the indentation and make that scar a lot better.

Loose Abd. Skin Following Gastric Bypass, What Can I Do? (photo)

History: Gastric bypass, lost 100lbs. Age 50. Currently at a stable wt of 120 at 5ft 2in. Issue: Overall skin laxity. Abdomen bothers me the most. Sagging skin below belly button and fat pocket and skin above...even with lower body weight. What is the best approach to manage this? I have no medical issues from the skin. The legs can be covered and breats can end up ok with a decent bra so fixing that is not a priority.
A: Tummy tuck After gastric bypass. You are an ideal candidate for an extended abdominoplsty (tummy tuck) to get read of all the loose skin and possibly repair the abdominal wall which also gets loose after wait loss and pregnancy. The word extended means that the skin excision extends to the sides of your hips to avoid dog ears and give you a smooth results. I don't think there is any other way to do this. You can expect great results if you find an experienced plastic surgeon. See my web site for photos of similar cases at betterplasticsurgery.com.
