Just after some opinions please. No judgement needed. I can do that well enough myself. I’m seriously considering a tummy tuck/abdominoplasty I have had 4 c-sections with 4 very large babies and no matter what I have tried over the years, I can not tighten up! I’m also prone to irritation in the folds of skin.
I absolutely hate the way my stomach looks. Hubby doesn’t care what info and says the choice is mine. He thinks I’m just as sexy now as I was before kids. But I don’t! I hate the way I look in clothes and I never look in the mirror. I’m not confusing body image with self image and I’m really aware of the message I’m sending my kids.
Having had surgery before I’m well aware of the recovery rules but I’d love to hear from any mummas that have had a c-section and then tummy tuck Is the pain of one or the other worse?
Thanks mummas

I think it depends on what is involved in the TT. I have had 2 c sections and 2 TT. I found the TT a lot harder because it involved sewing the an muscles back together so the surgery was a little bit more invasive. The c section was easy.
It took me a good 2-3 weeks to even stand up straight! I had the TT and muscle repair done. I love my new stomach... but hate my scars. Be very careful on who you choose to be your surgeon. I would only choose a reputable plastic surgeon as the ‘surgeon’ that did mine wasn’t registered as a plastic surgeon as I have just found out.
