Tummy Tuck Possible with Vertical Incision?

May 6, 2009
Asked By:HYH61 in UK

I am due to have a abdominal hysterectomy with vertical incision in a couple of month's time. I have asked about cosmtic surgery or Tummy Tuck at same time, and the consultant has said he will look at it, but not definitely agreed. What cosmetically could be done with a vertical incision? Is it possible to have a Tummy Tuck with a vertical incision? I am worried that when they remove my enlarged uterus (looks about 6 months pregnant) due to multiple large fibroids, I will be left with lots of excess skin and saggy belly. I am also trying to lose some more weight prior to surgery as well. I've lost 30 lbs so far.
