Hello Doctors: Im 36 years old. Im a black female of Jamaican descent. I have had 3 c-sections. I have a beautiful face and a bad body. my stomach hangs over on the top of my vagina, and my butt is flat and out of shape. I'm 5/5. I am willing to become any doctors subject, even if they are just starting out, as I feel desperate, and have no money. I want my hanging stomach gone and a nicer shaped butt. I will be satisfied with a new body as long as it looks better than what I have now.

A suggestion to possibly help

It is fairly unlikely that you will be able to find someone to provide free surgery, because there are a lot of hard "costs" associated with any surgical procedure.

Residency training

You need to go to a medical center where there are residency training programs so that they can learn by using your body. There probable will be a cost but it is much less than going to fully trained Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that is in private practice.

There is no such thing as "experimental free surgery."

I'm sorry to tell you this, but there is no such thing as experimental free surgery. Many people have issues with their weight and the appearance of their bodies. The first recommendation is to do the things which don't cost thousands of dollars: Improve your diet and exercise. Surgery is not the answer to correcting an unhealthy lifestyle.

Costs of surgery

Even if a doctor were willing to do this, somebody would have to pay the literally thousands of dollars of costs to pay for the anesthesia, drugs, equipment, nurses salaries, insurance, rent etc etc. So, when you ask this question you are asking somebody to just absorb at least $10,000 dollars on your behalf. This is unlikely to happen as I hope you can understand.
