Ever since I had my second child 3 1/2 years ago...
WORTH IT$6,000
Ever since I had my second child 3 1/2 years ago my belly has been flabby and looking pregnid. Excercise and healthy diet could not cure this so I decided to finally get a tummy tuck. My doctor proposed a full tummy tuck since I had some laxity above the navel. The cost and convalescence for a full tt was not an option for me. I went for a second consultation and he said that I could get a nice result with a mini tt aswell, if the scar could be long enough. I also wanted an improvement of my bellybutton (scar after piercing long ago in combo with saggy skin) so he has done some kind of correction.

My recovery has gone really well regarding pain. Took meds for three days, feeling bliss on the kodein (dangerous stuff - also woke up really happy from surgery). I only had draines at t Was out walking on the forth day and am moving freely today although i feel a bit streched. I am pleased with the
shape of my belly. The skin is pretty tight, i feared that a mini would leave some laxity. Less happy with the position and look of my belly button. It has stiches and bruises and is pretty low on my long torso. But i guess it is fine..I was aware of that effect before.

Wow! You look so flat already! I had a mini with umbilical float and am nervous about how flat I will be. I too don't love how low my belly button is on my long torso but am hopeful it will settle better after the swelling is down.

Thanks JDen! I think you look great, flat and your bb is not too low. Today l'm swelling a lot. I fell yesterday outside like an old lady. Hurt badly. My tummy is swollen on the side where i fell. But i think it's ok. Well I guess the bb will look more natural over time.

Ugh. Sounds awful. I almost tripped on a baby toy yesterday! Thanks about the bb. I'm adjusting. I think your location looks good too. Hope you heal well from the fall! No fun to have extra to worry about!

I started working one week after surgery which was too early. Also I was stupidly curious about the scar and ripped the tape off - the scar opened a bit and started bleeding. I just desinfected and taped it vack together, promising myself to leave it for a week. Ok my tummy looks ok in the morning. In the afternoon it swells up. I wear a girdle from maidenform at work since the binder is impossible to wear discretely. The swelling is a consequence of destroyed lymphatic paths. Maybe the girdle is not good enough and most likely I need to watch my salt consumtion. Ok so this is what I look like in the morning...a bit rounder than a week ago..hopefully mostly water but could be caused by less exercise.
