Guest guest Posted April 9, 2000 Report Share Posted April 9, 2000 Beth, I can only speak as a guy (my wife won't let me do any research into the female concerns) and say that my tummy tuck did move everything up and into a new and more prominent position. Certain things don't sag and drag in the water anymore. My wife actually asked my surgeon why I was so swollen there and he said I wasn't swollen. It was the pubis she was seeing that had been hidden before. I can't believe that I just shared all that! Oh well, it beats talking about gas!

We discussed the so called " muff lift, " it doesn't automatically occur as part of a tummy tuck or panniculectomy . . . from my understanding it must be requested? That is probably the only thing that physically bothers me at all . . . I want a flat one! Because of clothing, not function LOL . . .

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2000 Report Share Posted April 9, 2000 My TT included pulling up of the mons pubis area as welll, so things down there were tightened as well. Ask if they can do this also. Carolyn Personal Issue >Could somebody please tell me if they have the same >problem I have that's at least 3/4 of the way through >their weight loss.
