Need Help With My Jounery On Getting A Tummy Tuck

Hello All :cool:

So my long jounery is about to begin and it starts on here! I lost loads of weight from when I was younger and I'm now 29 and have been thinking every year I need s tummy tuck I have low self esteem because of this and I'm unable to wear clothes I really want to wear.

So I been searching websites high and low and can only seem to come across American websites.
I wanted to make a list on what surgeons are good that I can go to....price is not a big factor has I know you pay for what you get, but I dont want to go crazy and spend loads..

If possible are we able to start a discussion on the first step to finding someone to help me?

Thanks everyone for any help or links sent in this discussion.

    I would have thought your GP Dr would be a good first place to start.

    He would know the surgeons around your area and their reputation. It's never a good idea to travel too far for these things just in case any complications require some follow-up care.
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.

    A Google search for 'cosmetic surgery tummy tuck UK ' brings up lots of hits

    As Toothsmith said your doctor is a good place to start and if not the the Harley Street based doctors are fairly up to par I would have thought. However whoever you choose check their background and credentials out with the GMC before booking them.
