Who would I turn to in Utah if I wanted to have a combined hysterectomy and tummy tuck? I need a hysterectomy due to a large uterine fibroid. I've wanted a tummy tuck but since it requires a long recover...always put it off. Now it looks like I'll be going through this anyway and thought...why not kill two birds with one stone? I realize I will need to pay for the tummy tuck portion as my insurance will only cover hysterectomy. I need to find a OB and plastic surgeon who will work together.
