Just wondering if anyone has had a tummy tuck, were you happy with the result, did your stomach look normal after having it done. I have stretched skin on my stomach from my pregnancies that diet and exercise will not fix.

    I've had a mini tummy tuck. I was very pleased. I already had a scar from having c-sects, but the tummy tuck scar is a bit longer. I had excess skin and a lot of scar tissue. I got down to 105 lbs and still had that pooch going on and finally realized with research that because I am so small anyways and had children a bit later in life and so close together that my skin wasn't able to go back to its normal state and a mini tuck was the only way to get rid of it.

    Update: One more thing....because I am small, I didn't need the full tummy tuck.

    Be careful tho. One of my best friends had it done by a certified plastic surgeon and she got really sick and an infection from the procedure. Do your homework wisely.

    I had a Full Tummy Tuck and am VERY Happy with the results :)

    Thanks for sharing, it's very motivating to me to hear this because at present my body the way it is, even if I did lose so much weight and tone up I still wouldn't be seen dead in a bikini because of this loose skin! It's nice to think I could get it fixed if I wanted to.

    I haven't had one but I know someone who has. It turned out great! She definitely doesn't regret doing it. The scar isn't too bad at all, either.

    The thought has crossed my mind many times but I too would like one more child... I think. I have two boys and would love to have a baby girl. So I want to when I'm done having babies of course.

    I did the modified tuck. They removed the pannus (extra skin) and I think I have 3-4 internal stitches. My belly button was not "moved" and I still have my stretch marks, but I no longer have the flap.

    Same here. I've lost 40 lbs but my stomach looks like a deflated balloon. and there's a lot of extra stuff hangingdown...


    I was wondering if anyone here had one and then had kids, did it get messed up after kids?
