Tags: age 25-34, female, 150-169 lbs, 5 ft 0 in to 5 ft 3 in, muscle tightening, post-pregnancy
I'm 33 years old, 5'3, 154 lbs and have had 3 children with the last being a c-section. I was told that I wouldn't get any muscle repair done during my Tummy tuck! Is this normal? I have not been able to see any results from surgery since i'm bandaged up and wearing a binder until Thursday when i see the surgeon. Will my final results be good without the Muscle Repair?
