Asked By:Hope4amiracle in Cincinnati, OH

I have a huge pocket of fat that hangs over my pubic region,and diastasis recti. Unfortunately I CAN NOT afford a tummy tuck nor do I have the option to do one of those financial assistance programs,because Im a stay at home mother,and husband refuses to do it FOR ME(he has the job)So my question is: Will a surgeon do lipo on my fanny pack area?(I know there will be excess skin still, I’ll still have the muscle separation.) or will I be refused because I need skin removal and muscle tightening?
