I'm 41 and have lost 65 lbs working out and eating healthy! I've had a c-section and abdominal hysterectomy now my stomach hangs even more important toned everywhere else but my lower tummy is just a major eye sore to me! Can't afford to pay the prices I've been seeing in my area so was curious if getting the tuck done by a student would be a cheaper option

Answer: Cheaper tummy tuck You will have to research the academic hospitals in your area to see if they have a plastic surgery residency program. Many, but not all, plastic surgery residency programs have a resident’s clinic were a limited number of cosmetic cases can be done at a reduced rate. Of course you will have an experienced surgeon is operating on you if you choose this route. I would also encourage you to consider a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area who has more experience. Most offices offer payment plan options to make the procedure more affordable. Best wishes.

Answer: Tummy tuck Hello and thank you for your question. Cost varies based on geographic region and surgeon expertise. The option you describe is a possibility. I recommend that you consider it and also look at board-certified plastic surgeons as well. Based on your photograph, you are a great candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction. This can be done through a low and short incision, all completely below the bikini line. The belly button can be designed to look natural and have no scars on the exterior. Your muscles can also be plicated resulting in a flat abdomen. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
