Im 28 Yr Old Woman Who Has a Low C Section Would I Be Able to Get a TT In the Same Place? (photo) 195 lbs,stretch marks and lots of saggy skin

A: Tummy tucks often remove c-section scars

While it is impossible to say if an abdominoplasty is the right procedure for you based on the limited photograph and without an exam, I usually remove caesarian section scars with my tummy tucks. Many women have a little shelf of skin that hangs over the c-section scar despite how much diet and exercise they may do. The abdominoplasty scar is typically much longer than a c-section scar and based on the photograph the incision would likely be much longer than what you currently have however it is impossible to do a consultation via the internet so I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to get a full examination, discuss your goals, discuss potential risks and benefits of surgery, and get more information. Good luck!

Is There an Option For a Skin Only Tummy Tuck? (photo) I had a perfect stomach; even after my 1st pregnancy. Now, I just had twins 3 mths ago & there's so much excess skin on my upper & lower abdomen (the muscles all seen to be intact). I have just 11 more lbs to lose. Am I a candidate for a skin only abdominoplasty w/o touching the muscles? Also, if I was to proceed with the surgery would it be ok to have another baby 3 yrs from now if the muscles are excluded from the surgery? I understand it may be best to wait, but I'd rather get this resolved.

A: cutaneous abdominopasty

a cutaneous abdominoplasty is always possible. the risk is that you dont get a firm abdomen afterwards. things tend to be a little bit boggy. it would be unusual after twins not to benefit from some muscle tightening. dont do the operation halfway. if you are the type of woman who cant wait till after having all your children, you will not be happy unless you get the full effect

Swelling and Loss of Sensation After Tummy Tuck, When Will It Subside? I had a TT 12 weeks ago, 80% of the swelling has gone down but my stomach still has swelling especially in the lower abdomen and mons pubis area. My stomach feels tight and it is still pretty numb. I asked my surgeon and he replied, you look better now than when you started. I just want to know how long before all this resolves? THX

A: swelling and numbness

i think it takes at least 6 months for all the swellin to go away after tt. numbness can take a year or so and there is always the chance of permanent numbness. be patient
