Medicaid will not pay for a tummy tuck but may pay for a panniculectomy, which is a removal of some of the loose skin. However, is most cases, a panniculectomy does not give significant results.
Hello,Thank you for your question. I'm sorry to hear about your issues- chest pain is not expected after a tummy tuck. I recommend that you continue to follow up closely with your surgeon and your primary care physician.All the best
If you are having the muscles tightened as part of your TT then I would suggest a minimum of two full weeks off and work only half days for the next two weeks. Three weeks off would be even better. Patients recover at very different rates so these are only rough suggestions.
