Be sure to ask about whether or not touch ups are a likelyhood with your situation & what he charges for those. Also make sure you know what he's going to do about your crotch area if its saggy or still has a fat deposit. Most people I talked with about their tummy tucks were most disappointed with their crotch. And I know with me, that's a big issue. After the saggy skin and/or fat is gone from your tummy if there's any in your crotch area it really seems apparent. At 5 months post op I'm going back for a touch up. Part of that is to get my crotch lipo done & lifted. Besides those things just make sure you see pics of people with similiar circumstances having the SAME surgery as you are. I think having realistic expectations and knowing exactly what to expect as far as recovering, touchups, future costs, results, etc is the key to making the best choice and being the most satisfied with the end result. Congrats & good luck!
