as i understant it, a panny is a small part of the tt. the tt involves cutting into the muscles that have grown slack and is a much more significant ( and expensive) surgery

I had a TT, manboob reduction and a couple of hernia repairs (an incisional/umbilical hernia and an inquinal hernia - the "turn your head and cough" type,) in early March. It ran around $16k self pay, with about half of that coming back eventually from insurance coverage of the hernia repairs. I didn't have as rough a time as Aaron (at least not as severe), pain and mobility was manageable, but more in the way of minor discomforts and complications. Scrotal swelling was probably the most inconvenient/uncomfortable part - think in terms of grapefruit for the first month (apparently not that uncommon of a complication for surgery in the lower abs for us - excess drainage beyond what the JP drains pick up still flow downhill!)

Three of the four that I had were out by a couple days past three weeks, and the fourth was out by four weeks. The port for that last one took quite a while to finally close up (no significant drainage from it, just slow to close up so had to continue dressing and cleaning it.)

Do these help the mons pubis area at all? What about upper legs? I'm thinking I may have to go for the belt lipectomy when I'm ready so they can get everything but was curious if the TT helped the pelvis area as well.

I just had my TT eleven days ago. The doc said it would help that area, but right now it's hard to tell because it's very swollen still.

Sure wish there was more info on this subject

I'm 2 weeks post op now and feeling better each day. Still a fair amount of swelling which is normal for the first 6-8 weeks. I feel like if I had a desk job I could go back to work tomorrow. I'm very pleased with the results. I have some pics on my Tummy Tuck thread.

The best way to get more info is to schedule a consult with a plastic surgeon.
