Extended tummy tuck: what happens to upper thigh/butt skin & can I get OHIP coverage?

June 12, 2023
Asked By:stephie.laurie in Ontario, CA

32, 2 C-sections, Significant weight loss - Does the skin on the upper thigh and love handle area get pulled tight during an extended tummy tuck? Also, does anyone know if you can get OHIP or Private coverage for any part of a tummy tuck? I was thinking that the abdominal muscle repair might be? Has anyone ever heard of this or had a patient that has?
