Is it possible to have a tummy tuck after hip surgery due to a serious car accident? (Photo)

April 9, 2016
Asked By:cheryl c 85 in Newcastle Upon Tyne, GB

Just recently been involved in a serious car accident where I fractured my ace tabular and had to have an open reduction internal fixation to repair it, now have a large scar over hip area and one for a second fracture where I would have a c section scar. Problem is I was considering a tummy tuck since have a 3yr old and a 1 year old who was a massive 11lb born which left me with loose skin. Is this still possible after this kind of surgery to have a tummy tuck?
