Dec 15, 2021
Hello taurzgirl, I hope you are doing excellent. In a very simple manner to explain, If there extra skin on your abdomen you need to make an skin resection or Tummy Tuck. Nowadays there is no technology that can substitute skin resection. Also, skin retraction technologies have their limitations and those limitations depend mainly on your skin quality.

Hello Marie21, I hope you are doing excellent. Well for sure, after four pregnancies, you are a great candidate for a Tummy Tuck. In my experience and practice, I always combine Tummy Tuck ( resection of the extra skin of the lower part of your abdomen, muscle repair and creating a bellybutton), with liposuction of upper back, lower back, flanks and waist and Brazilian buttlift. So Love handles are also treated with liposuction. And usually Mommy Makeover in my practice, has to be just a…

Of course, it is…

Hello Flossg01, I hope you are doing excellent. The most important fact to take in consideration to answer your question is your plastic surgeon indication. This kind of medications, usually used to release allergy simptoms, have minimal interactions with some of medications prescribed after surgery, but can have interactions. Also, if you have any physical condition, you should check cautions and contraindications for this medicine.
