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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
