I’m 55y/o. Have had my tummy cut open four times during my lifetime, I’ve been cut horizontally and vertically. 2 c-sections, one for endometriosis and the 4th for a partial hysterectomy. There is mesh on the lower left quadrant for endometriosis that grew into my abdominal wall. But it was over corrected and there is a duvet there.
I was up to 270lbs mostly for meds from a medical conditions. I now weigh 192. And am still working on it.
Is there an opinion as to if my enquiry for a tummy tuck is viable? THANK YOU

He takes pride in obtaining the most natural and best results possible. He performs the majority of the procedures in our fully accredited ambulatory center.
Abdominoplasty can range anywhere between $8500-13,000, including anesthesia and facility fees. This is a vast range due to the many variations for abdominoplasty and the amount of excess skin and fat that will be removed.

Yes there is an option. Look at a BMI chart and get yours below 30 – best to be closer to 25. See a plastic surgeon for their opinion — but you can have things done depending on the physical exam. You have done well with weight loss — continue it and we should be able to help you with the excess skin.
