Mini Tummy Tuck Straight After C-section?

LyndalouNov 17, 2009
I've had slack skin since giving birth ten years ago, I'm due to give birth again in January. I haven't gained any extra weight, but I'm thinking of asking my doctor for a mini tummy tuck straight after having a C section. My slack skin has depressed me for years. What do you think? I live in Scotland, and was told another local lady had this done after giving birth.

A reverse tummy tuck is an option that is NOT popular due to the scar but may be suitable for your unique situation. Discuss this after consultation with a plastic surgeon.

The amount of skin removed depends on the extent of correction involved, and with a mini, only the area below your belly button is targeted. Generally speaking, the appearance of stretch marks can be improved with a tummy tuck, however they probably won’t be entirely removed.
