Hello! I am looking into skin removal due to loosing 140lbs and having 3 children. I believe I would receive a FDL or a circular/belt tummy tuck. One thing that has concerned me is I have heard this procedure is 99% of the time a outpatient procedure. Why? I am curious as someone who had 2 c sections, I was a 48 hour stay and I feel the FDL or Belt TT would be more invasive? I would love to know why Thank you for your time!
