Plastic reconstructive surgery for loose skin after weight loss?

I lost 100 lbs, and now i have a lot of loose skin i would like to get removed. What is the name of that procedure, and what is the price range for something like that? Anyone with personal experience of that surgery have any opinions on if its worth it, or how long recovery time is, or how painful it is? thanx!

I want one too! Abdominoplasty is what I think it's called. My mom had one and I never even knew. She did it one day while I was at school and a couple months later I saw her stomach and said "Hey, the baby bag went away!". She was never even in bed or anything
Reply:Most health insurance companies don't cover plastic surgery.. However, I've heard that if you claim that it's affecting your health... IE mental anguish, you can't function day to day it might be covered.. I've heard that it's painful, but manageable... I would talk with a healthcare professional and find out what your options are..Diet/exercise are a must... Congrats on the weight loss....Good luck
Reply:adominalplasty or Full Tummy Tuck...its a major surgery and I've had one. I had a huge weight loss form childhood that left this tummy lookin like hell......they can copst anywhere from 8k to 16k deending on the doc, location of poffice, hospital stay needed, etc. You should at least 3-5 consults and do not let the price determine your surgeon....you get what you pay for. They also do muscle repair and pull the laxed muscle togther again using a suture which is permanent. It was worth it completely....I'm very happy and would do this again. The pain wasnt bad just when i sneezed or coughed and was off work for a week. Research this some more....there are very serious risks when doing this and you not on;ly know the risks but how the operration id performed.....you have allot of swelling for up to a year and it takes a good year to completely heal.
