[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ignore PP.  What you have is what some call a "mother's apron".  Get as fit and toned as you want to be and to your ideal weight.  Then ask a plastic surgeon for a [b]pannilulectomy [/b]to remove/exciss the flap.  You do not want or need a tummy tuck, which is major major work, very expensive and a deadly recovery.  Don't let the plastic surgeon talk you into it.  All you need is the flap removed and stitched up.[/quote]

I've never heard of that before.  I think this is what I need too after having a 9lber via c-section.  Excess skin just drapes over the scar.  Do you know the approx. cost and recovery time?  I assume recovery is less painful than a TT.[/quote]

I haven't had the surgery but probably need it.  I have it but it would be classified here as grade 1 or less (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panniculectomy) but it still bothers me and I have to pack myself in spanx to look good.  I had three C-sections.  Read up here in the archives about recovery from tummy tuck.  A lot of contributors have posted about the difficult recovery time.  I have talked to a plastic surgeon about it and he agreed the recovery was brutal.  The nurse (WTF?) tried to talk up a tummy tuck (very invasive, abdominal muscles cut, belly button repositioned) but the plastic surgeon said I could get away with a panniculectomy because my abdomen muscles are in good shape.  It cannot be done in office because (well at least for me) the size of the incision.  I did get an estimate - I think $8K not including hospital fees - but haven't acted on it.  Tummy tucks are more.  Good luck!
