My mum had a tummy tuck & lipo done last week. It's been almost 12 months and she looks fantastic. She's gone from 100kg to 80kg without even doing a great deal. The remaining 10kg she wants to lose she'll have to do on her own. She said it was quite painful afterwards, for about 6-8 weeks. She said the tummy tuck was worst than the lipo for pain. She has the flattest stomach though, it looks awesome. Can't remember how much she paid for it, so I'll get back to you on that one.
i spoke to one of my mum's friends last night about it and her daughter had it done last year apparently. Don't know by whom though. She said that she was in a lot of pain for some time afterwards. She too said that it looked great post recovery and that when she does gain weight a little her tummy isn't affected by it.
I so can't weight to get it done
Glamourcide- MD is right it's only considered medically required for c/s, obese people, and those who have lost a considerable amount of weight and have excessive over hang.
The price differs by up to 50% depending whether it is medically required or not.
My plastic surgeon said that mine would be $5k given that i had 2 c/s and the other $5k is covered by Medicare. He said though, that private health insurance is a must due to the lengthy stay in hospital following the procedure.
ok, Mum said hers cost about $10k and got $1k back from private health insurance and a little more back from Medicare. She can't remember how much she got back from Medicare. We're in North Qld though, so it's usually a bit more expensive up here than down south.
