Tummy Tuck without muscle repair
By sunshyne2011 on 27 May 2011
I'm a 22y/o with no kids that has lost over 50lbs in the past year.I've consulted two plastic surgeons thus far.Plastic surgeon #1 suggested a standard tummy w/MR because of muscle laxity,Plastic surgeon #2 suggested an extended tummy tuck with no/MR because of the possibility of having children later on.Both surgeons agree the removal of fat&skin will weigh approx. 8-10lbs,either way the reults will render a dramatic difference. I haven't seen many posts from people who have had tummy tucks without muscle repair and am interested to hear what their rocovery was like.From my understanding the recovery process is faster.



Here is a good link with information for you..

Muscle repair is definitely the painful portion of the procedure.

I'd also really love to understand or hear about how recovery from a TT with NO MR is? Anyone?
