Who, Where, How Much?

Carebear22803 · January 26, 2006

Ok, I think I'm definitely going to need a TT when I am at my goal, I already have the hangy-loose skin, plus I had a c-section when I had my son 3 years ago. Anyway, I was just wondering who out there has gotten a TT, who (Dr.) performed the surgery, where did you get it done, and how much was it? I'm not concerned with cost as much as I am a good doctor who knows what he's doing so I won't die, be disfigured, etc, etc.! Let me know the 411!!

I have my surgeon already, once I am at my goal weight..... (not banded yet).. in Torrance, California (I just moved to MD - but a good Dr. is worth the flight). Dr. Sherif Khattab. He removed cancer from my mothers face, and did her plastic surgery to cover the lost skin...that is how I discovered him. He is an awesome man!!! Free consultations too!!!

If you want a good PS start by going to a local support group and see who has had surgery and who they used, and if they were happy with the results :biggrin1: I'm 6 weeks post-op from abdominalplasty, liposuction to hips, knees, and thighs and port change and couldn't be more happier with my results!!! I also used the same PS that someone in my support group used 6 months prior to my surgery so I got to see her work 1st hand :clap2:

If a person looses lets say 100 lbs do u think its possible just to do a Tummy Tuck or does the doctor have to tuck other places too sice there is so much extra skin around the hips and all as well?

Everybody is different so it's hard to say what you'll need/want done when you reach your goal!
