Should I Feel Guilty About Getting Tummy Tuck?

If your body has been stretched out by pregnancy, it can be fixed with a tummy tuck. Tummy tuck is not usually just about taking out wrinkly skin. Usually the muscle layer has stretched too, and that muscle separation called rectus diastasis can actually affect the strength of your abdominal wall. If your abdominal wall is not strong, you cannot always support your back and that can lead to other issues. So really, tummy tuck may fix a functional problem and may not be only cosmetic. I think you are brave to be willing to face something that makes you unhappy and be willing to fix it. Feeling better about yourself will probably affect the way you do other things, for the better.

No really there is nothing wrong with having an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck. Lots of women younger than you have opted for that procedure to feel younger and sexier. It is really up to you, if this is something you need in order to feel younger and good with yourself then were is the harm in that. We all need to feel aceepted and loved and this surgery is a way to do just that. So dont feel bad about getting an abdominoplasty, if you're already an amazing person then this surgery will only benefit you.

You should not feel guilty about wanting an abdominoplasty if the appearance of your abdomen has an effect on your self esteem or sexuality. It is certainly reasonable and appropriate to weigh the cost of the surgery against other potential uses for the money including a car, house downpayment or vacation. Every patient or family has to make choices among options unless they are independently wealthy. This operation has a very high patient satisfaction rate so I would encourage you to plan for it but to make your decision that both you and your husband are comfortable with based on your financial circumstances and priorities.
