Everyone heals differently, so there is not a firm answer to this.  Also, what is your definition of "recover"?  You'll be out of the recovery room in a matter of minutes to hours.  There will be swelling and soreness for a week or so.  Full tissue strength after any surgery takes 12 weeks.\n\nCosts vary widely based on location, and by practitioner.  Call some plastic surgeons in your area and ask them.

Start with a weight loss plan, and body toning exercises.\nGive these some time to work (at least six months).\nYou need to make a lifestyle change, otherwise you'll put the weight and inches back on, and the surgery will have been in vain.

talk to a surgeon, but it depends on what will work best for your body.\n\nmost people that get tummy tucks jsut have excess skina nd want it tightened up.\nLipo is where they suck the fat our through a small incision.  i've seen great lipo and horrible lipo.  \n\nif lipo is done incorrectly it will not be a smooth surface.  you will actually have "waves" across your tummy.  the nice thing with lipo is that the fat doesn't come back to that area.  but, it has a tendency to come back in other areas.  so if you get lipo be sure to keep up with a healthy diet and excercise program.\n\ntucks generally have more scarring since you are cutting the skin and pulling it taught.  for tummies the incision is typically along the bikini line.\n\nlipo is just a small hole like incision....large enough to get the sucking tube through.\n\nif you are seriously considering cosmetic surgery see your general practitioner first, so they can discuss it with you and they can most likely recommend reputable surgeons in your area.\n\nDO NOT allow a surgeon to operate on you if you do not feel comfortable with them.  \n\ngood luck on your decision and remember to choose what's right for YOU...not anyone else.

I knew someone who did that. She said that the first week was the worst, and she was pretty sore for two or three weeks. After that she was okay.\n\nSo I guess it hurts. Recovery time depends on you. Most surgeries have that affect on people though. Good luck.

This is strictly a decision made by the physician in charge. I have seen recovery after 40 minutes, but most do not go beyond 20-30 minutes with a straight line.

my hubby had surgery twice ( elbow & wrist ) and both times it was an outpatient procedure but he was completely asleep. you will have mild pain for a few weeks and will probably be completely better in about six weeks. in the meanwhile of the healing process depending on if its the hand you use most you will require lost of help, from eating to daily normal activities

Liposuction surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.\n\nForerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.\n\nhttp://www.forerunnershealthcare.com\nHope this helps.

I had the surgery back in January and have lost 231lbs.  I would do it all over again the pain and discomfort are worth it and now that pain and discomfort are gone just a bad memory.  The cost was about 32,000 for the surgeon and 15,000 for the hospital stay.  I was only in the hospital for 3 days!  The only weird thing was that my butt hurt all the time (after I started losing weight) I asked my doctor about it and he said it was a normal complaint after surgery…lol.  Oh well, things have gone well except I caused myself to have a hernia I unloaded about 1,500lbs of cottonseed off of a trailer into the barn I also moved about 500lbs of patio stones.  It was too much too soon (only four months) I just felt so great I had to get out and go to work.  The hernia will have to be fixed but because of were its at I can wait until I have a tummy tuck in about 18 months.  I’m now working on the farm again just careful with the heavy loads.  I take vitamins (prenatal lol), B-12, and green tea extract (my own idea on the green tea).  I took potassium for several months until my lab work came back as normal so the doc took me off the potassium.  I had one side effect from the incision itself.  During the surgery the incision is very near the diaphragm so when I would stand I would get sever hic-ups which would take my breath away and usually cause me to throw up.  That lasted for about a month and a half.  My doctor said that it wasn’t too common but some patients did suffer with the hic-ups.  They gradually went away when everything healed up nicely.  I now walk a mile every day and during the summer I would swim for at least an hour each day if not more.  I have had a little hair loss (I had stopped taking my vitamins) but that’s over with (I’m taking my vitamins like a good boy).  It was worth the money, pain, and time I now have my life back.  I still have 170lbs to go but I feel great and it was worth it.  Just do your research and find a good surgeon.

From an ER nurse, and someone that has suffered with this as well (lost 60lbs after having 2 babies 360 days appart), once you loose the weight, you can have the fat sucked out, but what about the left over skin?  I had a tummy tuck and that was the only option for me - lots of flab.  My surgeon was great!  I trusted him 100%!  Food for thought.

you can go back to limited activity within 3 to 5 days.\nyou can go back to full activity within one week.\nthis answer is conditional with no other problem coming along the way after the operation,cause any problem delays recovery.

You are usually up and walking around before you are released from the hospital.  I believe for a full recovery today it is about 4 to 6 weeks.  Now days surgeries are different than years ago.  Smaller incisions are made today and like gall Bladder surgery they cut a small hole and suck it out.

I had this done a few years back.  Stock up on baby food and gatoraide.  The first few days you will not even think about eating, I PROMISE you.  I would either buy extremely lose fitting pants/shorts or a long night gown to wear.  Drink a lot of fluid...  I didn't drink enough to start and ended up severely dehydrated with my organs shutting down.  You have to tell yourself to drink, drink, drink.  Get lots of rest and don't try to stand straight up at first...  A walker may help you get around the first few days.  You can rent them at most stores such as Drugco or other pharmacies.  You may have drainage tubes, they are very irritating.  Be careful with them and drain it how the doctor tells you.  Don't be alarmed if you have a little bit of drainage one day and tons the next.  I used baby soap for baths/showers...  it was mild and non irritating.  I suggest sleeping in a recliner the first 2 weeks, you will NOT be able to lie flat on your back.  At the very least, stock up on pillows and stack them all around you on the bed to make a reclining position.  You may even want to put one under your knees.  Don't try to do to much at first, take time to heal.  You will need lots of help for awhile and then some later on.  You will need to get up and move some but take baby steps.  When you begin to eat foods, stay away from a lot of sugary things at first, you can enjoy them in smaller amounts later on.  Chew, chew, chew.  Don't swallow anything that you haven't chewed enough of.  You can get raelly sick and throw it all up.  I suggest baby shrimp.  They are tiny and packed with protein.  Umm...  There is so much, feel free to message me later on and I can tell you more.  I lost 170lbs and just had the extra skin removed almost 3 weeks ago.  Yesterday was my first day back to work.  Don't get aggrivated if you don't lose tons at first or lose a lot then none.  Be happy with yourself.  You are about to make a huge mental and physical change.  The mental stuff kicks in a few months after surgery.  Make sure you have someone you can talk too.  Let me know if you need anything else, this is just a touch of info!

No, I don't think you do personally.  If this is you on the picture, then I say no.  You look just fine to me sweetie. : )  Liposuction is just a little temporary fix anyway.  Yeah, it may suck the fat out of you for now, but once you eat the fat will come back and sooner or later it will start to pile back on you.  I think it's a waste of money for that reason.  Don't do the liposuction.  If you are really concerned about your weight, get you a personal trainer and start walking and exercising little bit by little bit.  Diet and exercise could do you a world a good!

My mom's friend from work did in December. She said that she has already lost about 90-100 pounds. She couldn't eat for I think 2 days before the surgery, but don't quote me on that. Now she can only eat about 2-3 tablespoons of food or she gets sick. She was really sore in her abdomen for about a month, but she got up and walked around ASAP because if she didn't she would just have been more sore later on. She has some excess skin that will have to be removed, but later on. In about a year she can safely have it removed. Hope this helps!! ONLY DO THIS IF IT YOUR ABSOLUTE, LAST RESORT!!!!

It will return to the normal size 95% of the time. It does take 4-10 weeks, depending on your healing abilities.
