After 3 C sections, my stomach was a saggy mess. I had a large "fold" of skin that grossed me out.

Surgery has made me feel whole again, and I can actually see my pubic area for the first time in years! The scar is brutal, but worth every dollar. For those of you that had C sections, this surgey is a breeze!

I am 5 1/2 weeks since my tummy tuck. I am unbelievably happy, however I have tender lump above my belly button. I had a cold 2 weeks after surgery, and am concerned that perhaps coughing caused a hernia? My surgeon thinks that the round lump is just a swollen area, but it seems to be getting harder, and bigger. It could not be growing, but the rest of my stomach swelling is going down so it seems more pronounced? Ideas?
