Does a tummy tuck minimize swelly belly?

I am wanting to have a tummy tuck sooooo badly when I go to the Castle. However, my gyn won't perform it and I'm now looking for a ps at a reasonable cost. I really am praying that there's a way my insurance will cover the tummy tuck.

What I want to know is . . . does a tummy tuck eliminate or minimize swelly belly. My belly is already hanging and swelly looking :swellybelly: I just want to know if there's hope.

If you're asking will a tummy tuck minimize the swelly belly from the surgery, no, that is the tissues healing from the surgery.

Read your insurance plan - most of them won't cover plastic surgery, unless it is to correct something that was the result of an accident.

I've seen prices on here around $5000.

Your stomach will look wonderful after tummy tuck! The swelling still occurs, but not as much as it looks- it will feel hard and swollen till healing finishes.It's really worth it. I did it 4/2 and am 4 sizes smaller in the stomach.

I have talked my doctor into a tummy tuck! Yeah!!!!
I'm tired of looking PG all the time.
I also was wondering about the swelly belly...
Thanks to all who have posted with answers.

My TAH/BSO/Appy & tuck are schedule for 5/29...

re: Ins------I don't know about that part of it...
I work in the doctor's office & whatever ins doesn't pay will be adjusted off (another yeah!!!)
Good luck!
