Pregnancy AFTER tummy tuck

After maintaining my post tummy tuck body for many years I ended up getting remarried and having a baby. So for those of you that wonder how well a tummy tuck holds up after having a baby, this pic is for you. The top pics were shortly before I got pregnant and the bottom pics are from 1 year post baby. During my pregnancy my scar stretched out a lot and got very dark and bumpy. Post pregnancy it is not near as thick or gross as it had been, but it’s also not as faint and thin as it was before getting pregnant.

Pre-baby I wore a size 2
Post-baby I wear a size 4

For my own personal reasons I’m deciding to get liposuction on my upper and lower abs, flanks, and back.

Scar Close Up Pics 3+ years

I'm including pictures of my incision line. After 3 years it is faded in some spots and thick and dark in others. The scar on my left hip is the thickest and could use revision, but regardless it is still so much better than the loose skin. The scar doesn't really bother me at all. I did use the silicon scar strips and the scar guard formula that my PS gave me, but it is what it is. I do have stretch marks, the surgery didn't remove the potion that was above my original belly button, it just pulled them down tighter and lower.

Wow ! You look fabulous!!! Your three yr pic playing with your kids is exactly why I started this journey! I wanna play in the water with my kids. Free of the distraction my post-babyness. How was the recovery regarding your children? When could you play and run around with them again? I'm also looking into a no drain option. Do you think there was a relation to the length of swelling time and the no drain option? Would you trade less swelling time for 2-8days of drains? Thank you for updating your review. Your story has been very helpful and informative.
