After losing a lot of weight I had a large section of loose skin that hung down from my lower abdomin. They doctor called it an iron curtain. I had it removed. They cut from hip bone to hip bone.
I couldn't fully stand up for a few days and had a tube in my stomach that woud drain the wound. It was pretty rough but the pain killers helped.
It took a long time for the scar to go away but it was worth it. I was dating at the time and was always so emabrassed to have a guy touch my belly or see me naked. I don't care about the scar that is very light now.
Great review?
How many time a surgeon needs to do a tummy tuck?? at least 3 hours. The average cost to rent an operating room in a good hospital is around 400$ per hour. You have to add the surgeon’s fees, the medical team fees, the hospital room fees... etc...etc... so it's impossible.
I had my surgery done in South America (Bolivia) and I paid 2700$ for my TT..; and it's a very inexpensive price. But it's impossible to find such price in the US, because the medical team fees, hospital fees are much more expensive in the US.
