I am having a gynecological procedure done in a month, and the ob/gyn has offered to do a tummy tuck at the same time. I have heard great things from other people. I am nervous...he doesn't do lipo or belly button work. He said he only deals with the lower abdomen. My main issue is my lower abdo. I feel like I look 5 months pregnant, it has that shape,and it hangs. Its the only place my extra weight is. so would this work? what about the belly button? how does it really work?

Answer: Do not allow your OB/GYN to do your tummy tuck
I would highly discourage you from having your tummy tuck performed by a gynecologist who is not trained in plastic surgery. This procedure should only be done by a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery or the Royal College of Plastic Surgeons.
The fact that he doesn't "do lipo or belly button work" is a sign that he is not trained in this procedure.
Be careful.

Answer: OB/GYN's are trained to do your "gyne" surgery.
You really have a number of excellent Plastic Surgeons in Kelowna and it would be worth your while to have a consultation with one of them to get some perspective on the choices that you have. If your OB/GYN is offering you the removal of some of your extra lower abdominal skin then this is quite a bit different than what Plastic Surgeons offer under the general description of a "tummy tuck". Take the time to get properly informed.

Answer: Abdominoplasty and tummy tuck operations by non plasticsurgeons
Ob/gyn may be qualified to remove some skin above your c section but they are not trained nor board certified to do a correct abdominoplasty despite what they say.
I would have a consult with a plastic surgeon to get their opinion about exactly what you need to have done.
