I'm 5'11 and 249 lbs. After pregnancy, I have a hanging mass of skin, fat, and stretch marks. I went from 186 lbs to 277 lbs. I have zero elasticity, and 1 week after I had my daughter, I had dropped from 277 lbs to 231 lbs. I am still overweight and currently trying to lose the weight, but I have this hanging mass on my stomach of stretch marks and fat. It's horrific.
I want a tummy tuck and have done a lot of research, but how much will it cost me? How much do I need to lose before I should have the surgery? I don't accept blood at all, is that a concern?
Answer: Tummy tuck / Lipo Thanks for the question. In this regard, I recommend you a Tummy Tuck to get a flat abdomen and waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour. Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Answer: Tummy Tuck Cost Congrats on your weight loss!It is important to be stable in weight before undergoing a tummy tuck. The cost of Tummy tucks vary significantly for a number of good reasons: Prices vary greatly because the surgery itself encompasses a wide range of techniques that can be performed to different extents. My recommendation is to first find the most qualified surgeons where you want the surgery performed that are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery you trust, then compare prices between them. See the below link on suggestions on how to find the most qualified plastic surgeon for your procedure. General Factors that influence the price of plastic surgery include: 1. Location - Will it be performed in a hospital with an overnight stay, an independent out- patient facility or a doctor’s office? Geographical location also has a significant influence. RealSelf has average charges for most areas of the USA.2. Type of Anesthesia - IV sedation or General Anesthesia? Will a board certified anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist, or an RN be used?3. Experience and training of your surgeon. The best and longest trained is most often a plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery4. Length and Complexity of Surgery - how difficult will your surgery be and how long it will take, etc. Will other complementary procedures also be also performed during the same surgery?#tummytuck#TT#tummytuckcost

Answer: Within 10% of ideal body weight is best... There’s no question that being close to your ideal body weight improves the results from tummy tuck surgery.It also decreases the potential for complications with this type of surgical procedure.For these reasons, we prefer that patients be within 10% of their ideal body weight at the time of surgery.Unfortunately, reaching an ideal weight is easier said than done.The vast majority of patients are unsuccessful at losing this additional weight.It’s also important to realize that even when patients are overweight, they can potentially benefit from abdominoplasty.We therefore evaluate every patient on an individual basis.Although bleeding can ocassionally be seen in post-operative abdominoplasty patients, this complication is fortunately rare.For this reason, it’s unusual for patients undergoing this procedure to require transfusions.The cost of abdominoplasty is variable and depends on several factors, including the surgeon’s fee, facility fee, and anesthesia charges.Fees in the Midwestern United States typically range between $5,000 and $8,000.

Answer: "Mommy Makeover" of the abdomen Based on your photo, I think if you get just a bit closer to your ideal weight, I think you would be a great candidate for a tummy tuck-- this is usually a part of the mommy makeover, which also addresses the breasts and any extra pockets of fat that need contouring. You may only want to have the tummy tuck, which is perfectly fine and I think you would have a nice result. Prices vary based on area of the country and surgeon, but you should plan on 3 fees: the surgeon's fee (varies between $5000-$10000 or more) the fee of the operating room and the fee for the anesthesiologists. Needing blood is very rare for this procedure, and the recovery is usually straight forward.
