Will the NHS Help Pay for TT and if Not How Much is it in England?

I have lost 8 stone, and am waiting for back surgery. I also suffer from lypodeama. I now have a large fibrous overhang which is unsightly and heavy on my back. I have a spondolysenthesis and 3 prolapsed discs as well as chronic osteoarthritis, so I am in chronic pain and live on morphine.I walk an hour a day and go to the pool 3 days a week to do hydro=therapy exercises. I have lost the weight over 9 months. Would the NHS help be loose this unsightly heavy stomach flap? OR if I have to pay, how much would it cost?

Insurance and tummy tucks not likely in the States

From what you describe, it seems you would be a candidate for a tummy tuck. Congratulations on your weight loss. I do not know if NHS will pay for this type of procedure. If it is feasible, you may see a board-certified plastic surgeon in the United States for an evaluation and recommendations. It is a good idea to seek more than one opinion and compare recommendations.

Tummy tuck in England?

Thank you for the question Congratulations on your weight loss. Based on your description you may be an excellent candidate for tummy tuck surgery. I would suggest that you see a well experienced plastic surgeon in your area who will be able to address your questions regarding coverage for the procedure much better than plastic surgeons located in the United States. Best wishes. see video
