    Not me but my co-worker did this, and had incredible results. If you are done losing weight and stable for a few years, and belly has not recovered, yes I think this is the plastic surgery with the most bang for your buck. She did tummy tuck and boob lift and it pretty much changed her life. Went from flabby/flat to smooth and tight and curvy.

    She'd only had one kid, but had very delicate skin that did not shrink back at all.

    It is brutal, and expensive, look for a very very good plastic surgeon. I would not do it for the small change I'd get, but if you have a lot of skin, her results convinced me of the benefits of this surgery.

    From what I've heard this is key. Lose all the fat you need to, maintain it for a while to let you body/skin adapt and then consider surgery.
