I had a tummy tuck nearly 4 months ago and i realised soon after my tummy tuck that my vaginal area is still very prominant and lacking in elasticity and it hangs there low and flabby.I thought this would have been corrected during my tummy tuck procedure however it hasn't. I hate it as it sticks out more than my stomach does now, i am only 19 and so when i come to wear a nice dress i can't as my vaginal bulge sticks out and i look like i have male genitals. please help me! :'( what can i do? :(
