Yes, but she was 22. Some belly flaps can be removed due to infected skin, with insurance, but most other

loose skin has to be self paid (unless you have super insurance).

Me! In truth, I could look better with some ps, as could we all at 44, but i dont NEED it. My tummy is pretty good, lower belly perfect and flat, but some upper sag, with a sad belly button, thats from pregnancy as ive never had a big stomach at any other time, butt is a bit wobbly but has been all my life. Arms are perfect, in fact i fave really nice arms and shoulders if I do say so myself. Legs are good. A boob job would be what Id really need, but again, ive never had pert breasts and have breastfed three kids for six years all up. I got to a bmi of 20 too, so am pretty stoked.

The main reason id have ps would be to erase normal signs of aging and past pregnancies, less so than because of weight loss. And begore you ask, i did noyhing special, in fact apparentl i do it all wrong. I eat bread and carbs, run a lot and have never shelled out for miracle firming cream. And being an Aussie, Ive spent my life in the harsh sun ( and probably look like it)

Im having a tummy tuck in may cost is $7500.00 in south carolina, insurance is covering most cause of medical necessity. Thank God
