Tummy Tuck

Anyone have plastic surgery done? I am not sure how to look for a surgeon, I am in the Brighton/Howell area, any recommendations? or anyone you would not recommend.   Thank you

derailed by divorce, etc...

does insurance pay for anything towards a tummy tuck if it's for medical reasons, I have BCBS of MI

All went great Saturday. The Dr was great and spent a very long time with me. I already knew of his work and he's pretty much an artist (which I need, lol). It looks like they have insurance approval for my hernia which I expected. They also got the Panni approved which was a great relief. I developed a sudden major rash the day of consult. He also brought up a "medical necessity" to do my chest area which will tighten up the upper body. This was an unexpected nice surprise. I will pay extra to have him extend the waist incisions which will go about 80% around, extend the vertical incision and to lipo and do general sculpting to insure a very good result. I was given a very good price for all of that. He also promised a great price do due to having the other work done on my arms when I do that. (I'll follow up pretty quick on that) and also the upper thigh area  if there is any unwanted skin left after pulling them up when doing the lower pelvic area during the initial surgery. Time for the surgery is expected to be about 6 hours with a 2-3 day stay in the hospital afterwards. I've both knees replaced this spring so there will be no deductible or co pays for any of this. Very Very happy with how it all turned out after being nervous as hell going in. Not with the surgeon at all. Just with the insurance as you never know how that will go. 

Surgery date is October 13th!

I had a tummy tuck with panniculectomy with Dr. Ellen. She and her staff are wonderful.  I was VERY happy with my results.

Hollie how is the pain after this type of surgery? 

I'm not going to lie.  It was pretty painful, but it was SOOOO worth it.  I think the strangest part was when I decided to finally stop wearing the binder.  It felt so strange.  I still have a little numbness near my belly button, but aside from that it was definitely worth it.  I would do it all over again!

Thank you
