Do I Qualify for a Tummy Tuck to Be Paid for by Saskatchewan Health Care?

HopefulMeApr 30, 2012
I met with my GP in Swift Current because I keep getting skin infections under my 'flap' from my C-Sections (twins the 1st time, singleton the next time).

Thanks for the question. 2-4 months is enough time to get a piercing. Then, if you talk to your surgeon and get approval, there is no obstacle to having a piercing. I wish you all the best.

Thank you for your question. I would recommend you full tummy tuck with liposuction and BBL. Finally, I suggest to have in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Having a tummy tuck following a c section is no problem. Your pouch will be markedly improved. Since this surgery is performed above the abdominal wall, there is no concern about your uterus which is located deep to the abdominal wall. Your health will remain the same following this surgery.
