pubis area

Ok ! I have this very personal question : any of you had plastic surgery for tummy tuck and got also surgery for the pubis area at the same time ? Does the tummy tuck surgery takes care of the pubis area at the same time or you need another surgery for the pubis ?

hope i am able to answer. When i had my TT, the doctor made my cut from hip to hip dipping down in to right above my Pubic area. He tightened the stomach muscle, pulled the extra skin down and cut off. Did lipo on my back and waist area. Pulled up on the pubic area. Cut new place for belly button and stitched from the inside and glued the out side. I had no drains I wore the compression garment for 8 weeks after for 23 hours a day. I was back at work in 12 days. I equated my pain with that of my past two c-sections.

So, my pubic area that was once fat and puffy is not anymore. And my "man-in-a-boat" is higher than it was before. Hope that help.

I too am getting a TT. I asked the surgeon about that. He said that yes he can do that, he'll just curve the incision to pull more up. SO it's in the plan, but I have no idea what the outcome will be

Just be sure to tell the doc that's an area to be addressed :)

I haven't had a Tummy Tuck but I've looked into it and was told during a consultation that can lipo and lift that area at the same time. I was warned that the pee stream may be higher after.
