How Much Does A Tummy Tuck Cost
|
Question: The strange thing is that until this past year I never put on fat in the
stomach area. Sure, I didn't want to expose my belly and pierce my
navel or anything, but it was flat enough. It just seems that for some
reason this time I gained fat between the waist and hips, where before
it was always in the hips and thighs only. It affects how my clothes fit
because with my hips and thighs the size they are I would be able to
fit into smaller sizes if it weren't for the "belly"! It seems to be
shrinking "out of sync" with the rest of me - hips get smaller, then the stomach
follows, hips get smaller, then... and so on. So if I wear jeans that fit
the thighs and hips nicely I have gut spillover which looks gross.
I know it will go away and I'm trying to be patient about it. I do
Pilates exercises and crunches for strength; I know spot reduction
doesn't work. But, when I've worked those muscles I feel better
and stronger and stand taller and my gut feels smaller - it isn't really
but I feel better about it.
So, how much does a tummy tuck cost?
Answer: I don't tuck in a shirt (something I always wanted to do) because the jeans
seem to ball everything up towards the front and I look like I have a bubble
tummy.
I know what you mean. I walk out of the gym feeling stronger and taller, so
something is happening. (Yes, I know there is no such thing as spot
reduction, too. I go to the gym for an "all over" thing)
if you ever find a two-for-one deal, give me a call
I have noticed that my "apron" is getting smaller, but it is also getting
floppier. A swimsuit without a skirt will not be in the cards for me this
year. I tried a one-piece the other day and instantly got depressed.
I doubt I'd ever get a tummy tuck, to be honest. I just
get so frustrated with this loose skin and fat. I can grab it and pull
it out and it seems like there's so little substance to it that it could
just be "removed", you know what I mean? It's not allover fat, just
a, well, a tire. And not fully inflated, either. It is decreasing.
