I Have a Mama Tummy Which is Flabby and I Have the Hang over Flap and Also the Bra Roll, How to Help? (photo)

I am 20 I weight 187lbs and 5'2 I have never weighed over 129 my entire life! I now weigh more than I did at 9 months pregnant. I took a birth control and after I got off of it i started blowing up and have never been able to lose it. I would like to know if there is any type of procedure I could have without being fully nude? just in my bra and underwear? My husband does not agree to surgery because of me having to be fully nude with alot of male doctors but he knows it will help me alot.

Tummy Tuck

What you are asking for is a Tummy Tuck and liposuction of the back. However you are concerned being nude infront of a male doctor or male operating room staff. Be assured that all of your doctores, male and females will treat you with ultimate repect , and protect your dignity and privacy. Once you are my patient, I will treat you like a member of my family. This is true to the doctor you choose.

I have been working with a nutritionist for two years and they actually recommended this. I have not been able to lose weight at all even working out and eating healthy everyday but i blew up after coming off of a depo provera birth control that also caused infertility for me.
