Free Surgery. Should I?
By Toledo27 on 11 Feb 2011
I am 27 years old and weigh 265. My parents are very close with a surgeon. He does mostly liposuction and does it very well, my mom and her friend both have had it. He's never done a tummy tuck before but is in Los Angeles getting trained. He needs 2 people as models to use for models. He is a reputable surgeon and Im not scared of he himself. My question is I'm very nervous of scarring also I've never had children before and dont know how that would affect it. Although it is free and it would be nice to get some of this weight off. Please let me know.
The above comments are all very sound advice. Here's what some doctors have to say about tummy tucks as a weight loss tool. (Hint: it's more of a body-contouring surgery and will not take off a lot of poundage). Also, yes, having children in the future could ruin your results.
It's a tough call, but I know they seem to say you should be close to your ideal weight before doing it; although I realize that's not always possible.
