Tummy Tuck?

I am going to hit my two year mark in January and I am considering doing a tummy tuck. I carried my weight all over but definitely in the stomach. It's not bad, but I am still in an L-XL top because of it. I can fit into a Medimum but it doesn't look good lol. Has anyone regretted doing one?

I went down a few sizes in jeans and I'm not embarrassed about my stomach anymore! I'm looking into doing more cosmetic procedures soon.

I went back to take a good look at your tummy. My tummy looks the same as yours except I have lots of stretch marks on my stomach.

Wow you look great!!!!

I want it' date=' I'm just not sure when.[/quote']

I suggest waiting til after you have children cuz you are so young. Unless Dr says Ok and you want to pay twice. Good luck with whatever you decide. I'm def going to have one as soon as my Dr says it's ok. However, I've had my children, twins.

Some insurances will give you a lift due to rashes and neg impact on functioning or living, etc....... The same for arm, thigh lift and tummy....

I'm not worried about when I have kids. I go to the gym and I eat right, I just can't get rid of my stomach from my surgery. I'm 18, kids are no where in sight in my future. I'm tired of not being totally confident because of my stomach.

Yeah, I have.. I use them now, but I'd like something more.

Sweetie I bet a mini tuck is all u may need.... Go and get a few consults and research drs And their offices on bbb as well as the with the American medical boards to verify their specialty is plastics, as some docs don't have it as a specialty. I had a tummy tuck after my nine year old was 4 and though I had a baby with my second hubby 3 years later my stomach went back flat because the muscle connections were done right.

It will work out but get that research on comparables and verify they have rights at a good hospital which lends to their standing....

Good luck and God bless!

I'm so looking forward to 2014 to get everything done. I got a letter that "wish not to say from who" My plans not go as plan for next year. Damn it!!! Getting a loan for $50,000 when I don't even have a job is not easy. I estimated this amount by the sections I wish to get done.

Carecredit is used by many plastic surgeons and dr offices. If u can get a line of credit to them u can pay on it as u would a car.... It may be easier. U may or may not end up needing a co-signer..... I see the signs whenever I go to a doc's office and when I was last in my plastic surgeons office....

Better than care credit is Chase Health Advantage they provide total cost financing plus fixed interest rate.

I just saw they did away with that program. They are no longer accepting any applications.
