Is it safe to have surgery ?

In 2003  I became pregnant after 15 years, I had to have an emergency c-section which resulted in a pouch in my lower stomach. Durning this time I was diagnosed with Mitral regurgitation in 2008 I discovered I had a fibroid cyst that is pressing against my left ovary. I am depressed and disgusted with my appearance to add to the misery my sexual desire is very low. Is it safe to have tummy tuck surgery and vaginal reconstruction surgery and if it is is there anyone who can perform these procedures pro bono or at a very discounted price. Please Help !!!!!

Is it safe to have this combined surgery? - Yes.  Will you find both a plastic surgeon and gynecologist in private practice willing to perform them at no fee - Doubtful. The gynecologic portion may be insurance covered - see your gynecologist about this.  The cosmetic portion could be financed.

I know one good cosmetic surgeon from India whose job quality will be beyond your expectations. He is Dr. Mohan Thomas, international cosmetic consultant and expert in all types of cosmetic surgeries, corrective surgeries.

He has successfully performed many tummy tuck and vaginal reconstruction surgeries till date. He is qualified surgeon from USA, practicing in Mumbai and Goa since last 25 years at his Cosmetic Surgery Institute (CSI) in India.

One more thing, India is becoming favorite destination for medical tourism due to its world class infrastructure, technology and low costs treatments. You can definitely save a lot in india.

If you want more information, you can view surgeries details and its before and after images on his website.
You can arrange vacation at Goa, for tummy tuck and vaginal reconstruction surgery.

I just read a comment Jerry Corbet posted saying there are no side effects to this surgery! Are you kidding me? Tummy tuck in the wrong hands can easily pierce you intenstinal tract causing sepsis and possibly deatj! This is no simple procedure and should be taken very seriously. I have heard of a woman that lost both her legs due to nexrosis from have her intestines pierced during a tummytuck/lipo procedure!
