Congrats on your four children. You have actually kept lean and in good form after four deliveries and child rearing. You unfortunately have some leftover from the pregnancies. I see stretch marks creaping up toward your breasts, a small umbilical hernia, big time rectus diastasis as the muscles...
A panniculectomy will not get rid of the excess skin above your belly button. Also, the six-pack muscles will not be brought back together. If the panniculectomy is covered by insurance, it is cheaper. If it is not, I would charge the same.Best of luck,Sheila Nazarian
I'm sorry but I can't answer your question. We just don't have enough information. You would have to be much more specific of the exact area, the MRI report, the type of tissue that is dead, did you have a surgery or an injury, your age, health status, etc,etc
