I have very little fat around stomach just loose skin from having two kids. I would like surgery but dont see why i should pay the same amount as a larger person. No offense but it would be less time and effort . could anyone give me an idea of how much i would be looking at to pay?. Im so un happy with the stomach area ........... I am quite fit, i eat well and exercise and it hasnt improved so i am looking at surgery, please help?

I have good muscle tone actually i have a six pack (a small six pack and have done exercise since having the kids over nine years ago. so exercise does not work on stretched skin!

My mum had one done about 6-7 years ago and it cost her £2300 then. so its more than likely gone uo in price.
Im guessing around £5000 now though.
Good luck chick xx

i recently under went breast re-construction surgery. they used the muscles and fat from my abdomen. in all reality this is called a tummy tuck. i did not have enough fat and muscle on one side to complete 1 breast so therefore they used both sides. if you dont have a whole lot of fat and lose skin i would not advise this procedure. its very painful, you are unable to stand up straight for 6 or 7 weeks. unable to pull yourself up without assistance. the cost for this procedure was here in GA around $6,000.00 most insurance company's do not pay for this surgery unless medically necessary. check into all options before you undertake such a radical step

My aunty paid about £3000 private and had to stay in about 2 days.
She had the op because of loose skin from kids and looks alot better from it.

£20 - I'll set my garage up now - come round in ten minutes - just got to find my jigsaw blades - now where did I put them...Hmmmm!
Seriously though - sit ups and the like will tone up the muscle in the tummy area - just persist with them - it takes weeks but it will tighten up.
