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.

HAHAHAHAH Bayou "man in a boat" ahhahaha

OKOK sorry..to answer the Q

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
