TUMMY TUCK...BABY..TUMMY TUCK

$11,000
I had a full tummy tuck about 4 years ago, At the time I was a 30 year old mother of two. Yes it was painful but I loved the results. After 2 c-sections I had to get rid of that pouch I was carrying around, so the pain was worthwhile for the body I wanted/needed!!! A year after the tummy tuck I got pregnant agin... although I love my new daughter I must say I was not happy at the initial news. I decided..not a big deal I would just get another one if necessary. 8 months after having the baby I went back to my doc who suggested a mini tummy tuck this time. He said the pain would be far less and the same results. I am so unhappy and regret not having the full tummy tuck done. Yes, my lower abdmonial is flat as a board but my upper abdominal appears to be protruding. I look 3 months pregnant in my upper stomach. I really do have two stomachs now...a flat lower stomach and a bloated/big upper stomach. I was comsidering the lipo dissolve to help with the upper stomach but ater reading the reviews I am having second thoughts...just wanted to see if anyone else had experienced something similiar. I hate to have ANOTHER full TT to get the results I am looking for but don't know what else to do. If anyone has any suggestion or advise, please help!!!

great reply exercise !!!! Does work i have very little fat after two kids but loose streched out htskin above my protruding belly button. I've been told that since the problem is above my belly button and because i'm thin there is not much that can be done. any suggestions someone with great results Please share
I know exactly what you mean!! I'm slender also and don't have any fat on me, except for that dang skin on my tummy.....3 c-sections. So if the problem is above the belly button they can't do anything???? I just read about this product that supposedly sculpts your abs or whatever you want. It was on the right side on this site. Does anyone know if it really works? I really don't want another surgery if I don't need to, I just want this tummy bs resolved!! klb
I did the smart lipo and now my tummy looks worse than Tara Reid's. I would not recommend it. Your skin needs that fat underneath or else it will lay all wrinkled over your flat tummy. This doctor ruined my body. Hope this helps.
My surgeon seems to steer away from younger women of childbearing years who may become pg. I think this may be why. I am 39 with 4 children and we took care of the possiblily of ever getting PG again.
Don't do lippodisolve! I'm disfigured from it! It was my 3rd application, and while the first two had gone well, this time the tech didn't quite break the skin with the needle, causing a "blister". This ended up "eating" my skin, causing an open and oozing sore for 4 MONTHS!! I have a heinous scar now.
I'm so sorry! I don't know why your doctor would suggest a mini tummy tuck after you were pregnant again? You obviously stretched out the muscles above and below your belly button! That was the wrong advice! I would not recommend liposuction to your upper abdomen. You can look at my reviews. And while I did have upper liposuction with my revision, I was left with a mark where the cannula went a little too close to my skin. Not too noticeable but still… And it's still not going to take care of a separation gap in your muscle. I'm actually looking to get a tummy tuck myself in February now. You could also research reverse tummy tucks. That way they could address the upper part of your abs only. Again though, it's another surgery. I'm sorry you got poor advice second time around!
