Best Technique for a Tummy Tuck for Ehlers Dan Los?

November 11, 2012

Hi I have Ehlers Dan Los. I lost over 100 pounds. I recently saw the plastic surgeon who is going to perform the tummy tuck. He is not familiar with Ehlers Dan Los. I spoke to him about my concerns. He said there is a costly option of using cow skin to help in my tummy tuck. Is it worth it to pay the additional $6000+ to use cow skin and will it help with Ehlers Dan Los and the success of the operation.
