It looks worth it to pay the extra dollars. I'll keep that in mind if I ever decide to have that done when I'm finished losing weight. Do you have any tips for finding a good surgeon?

I would say you should consult with at least 3-4 surgeons, ask how many tummy tucks they do a year, look at a lot of before & after pictures. If you can, see if you can connect with a past patient of theirs that did the same surgery.

Before & after pictures and trusting my doctor when he said he can get great results without drains is what sealed the deal for me.

Thank you for the info. I'll keep that in mind if I end up needing a tummy tuck.

I really enjoyed this thread. I'm hoping to get a tummy tuck in Summer 2015 my 42nd bday present to myself.
