Cheapest "Tummy Tuck/Abdominoplasty" in UK

[sondre]

Hi !
After having 2 kids i am left with wrinkly ,baggy and streachmarked belly . No diets/exersice will change it .
The only way to get rid of the extra skin and some streatchmarks is plastic surgery (Tummy Tuck/Abdominoplasty).
I dont want it done abroad,want it done here in UK .
I looked at many many websites,and its very expensive (£5000-£6000).
Anyone knows where to get it done cheaper ?
When i searched the web,it says it costs in UK from £3000 , but i havent found anyone who would do it for £3000 .
I can afford to spend £3000 on it,but not £5000-6000 .
Thanks !

hi sondre, totally sympathise with you, after having twins, combined weight of 12.5lbs ( and I'm barely 5'2"!) my tummy was in a very bad state, as you say, beyond improving with exercise and diet.
I managed to get a tummy tuck on the NHS, and before anyone slates me for wasting public money on an essentially cosmetic procedure, I have to say that it was the attending midwife who suggested I apply for it almost immediately after the birth.
Having said that Sondre, I did have underlying muscle damage as well,which they sorted out at the same time, but it might be worth you enquiring with your GP if you haven't already done so, Slinky x

Thanks for reply slinkycat,i didnt even know that NHS could do that ! I will have to talk to my GP about it . How long did you have to wait ? Thanks x

I waited until the twins were 5, as I knew that after the op I wouldn't be able to do any lifting for several weeks, and I didn't want to be unable to pick them up when they were really little.
As for how long I was on a waiting list, I honestly can't remember, it was a long time ago (15 years in fact) so don't get your hopes up too much, the NHS may have changed their policies since then, but like I said, its worth asking x
