I am a 31 year old stay at home mom who has recently busted butt to lose 70 lbs and after having 3 c-sections and breastfeeding all 3 of those babies my body is in desperate need of repair but being a stay at home mom I can't afford it. Are there doctors who will take on a pro bono case possible for me due to my weight loss and such? I just want to be happy but even my size 8 jeans can't make me smile when I have to tuck my belly skin into them. thank you

Answer: Low cost body contouring Congrats on your weight loss and your 3 kids! Unfortunately, there is no safe "free" option for what you are requesting. Occasionally, removal of a large overhanging abdominal pannus will be covered by insurance. This typically requires documentation of coverage of your external genitalia by the pannus, as well as persistent rashes and infections beneath it. That said, your best low-cost cosmetic surgery option will likely be at a clinic run by a plastic surgery residency program. Through these clinics, surgery is performed by plastic surgeons in training, with the supervision of board certified plastic surgery faculty. Clinic prices are often a fraction of those found in the community as a whole. Good luck to you.

Answer: Low to no cost mommy makeover? Be careful A mommy makeover is a big plastic surgery operation with substantial costs. The risks go up when patients undergo larger procedures, and it is more important than ever to go to the best surgeon you can find. If you have a limited budget, it would be better to decrease the number of procedures you have done during your first operation rather than go to the lowest priced surgeon in town. There are likely many reasons that the surgeon has low costs, and most of those may result in compromised quality of care. Cutting corners to cut cost will have consequences for many patients, and it may cost you much more in the end. Good luck and choose wisely.
