Tummy tuck pain compared to having an ovary removed - which is more painful?

August 31, 2014
Asked By:RSMember2623 in Sydney, AU

I am 20 years old, and a year ago I had surgery to remove an ovarian cyst, however my ovary was also removed. I am losing weight at the moment and at the end I am considering getting a tummy tuck to get rid of excess skin. I have a very low pain tolerance, and I was wondering if the pain from the tummy tuck be ok? thanks
