Tummy Tuck and Lower Body Lift after Weight Loss

Dr. Mitchel Krieger talks about the dramatic improvement achieved by a lower body lift for patients who have lost a lot of weight after weight loss surgery. An abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), which removes excess skin from the stomach, is the most popular plastic surgery procedure for weight loss surgery patients and often produces the most dramatic and gratifying results.

Health insurance will occasionally cover some of the body contouring procedures performed after weight loss. They generally require that the patient demonstrate recurrent skin infection related to the overhanging skin. I would encourage you to check with your particular health insurance carrier to see what their specific requirement are.

I had this surgery done in South America-in Bolivia- and I am very happy with the results.I decided to do my Tummy tuck there because I couldn't afford it in theUS. I live in Miami where the average cost for such surgery is 10,000$.In Bolivia it costed me 2,500$.I went through a medical tourism agency (Sensual Body Dream) thatspecializes in the organisation of plastic surgery trips for american people who are interested in having a surgery in South America with the best dr. at affordable cost.
