Has anyone looked into having a Corset Trunkplasty? It looks like it would cover a lot more then just a regular Tummy Tuck. Anyone have any idea on pricing here in the states or Mexico.

Unfortunately... I need a face lift from the toes up, so... I haven't even looked

I want someone to install one of those handle things on the top of my head so I can just turn it every so often & pull everything up a little tighter! :-/

I have heard of it, not by that name. What I have found doing my research is that most tummy tucks include the "corset" procedure, at least the dr's in Mexico do. Are you a member of "sassy sleevers" on FB? We've been discussing it on there.

I'm scheduled to have a corset trunkplasty on May 28th. Basically it cuts across under both breasts, straight down center of belly, around belly button, & straight across hip to hip. It's like a big capital I. It gets all the skin & excess fat from breasts to hips. Then he pulls in, around, up & down & sews it all up.

Who is doing this procedure for you? Is it in the states, and how much? What is recovery time like?

Dr. Bass in Lexington Ky. Including facility cost, anesthesia & surgeon fees, $8600. The recovery is significant. He said it will be 1-2 weeks before I feel like leaving the house & 6-8 weeks before I can go back to the gym. I've taken "before" pictures & I plan to post those & the after pictures for y'all. :)

I've been very interested in this procedure. Please share your outcome with us. There does not seem to be a lot of doctors doing this procedure but I am hopeful that will change by the time I'm ready for the next step.

A Doctor at Geisinger pioneered this procedure. Here is some information for Geisinger:

      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! 😞
