Tummy tummy with large open cholecystectomy & 8 inch scar - can I have a tummy tuck? (Photos)

Asked By:fredzsmum in England, United Kingdom

I had an open cholecystectomy 18 years ago which has left me with 8” scar. Do I have a realistic chance of having a tummy tuck. I’m 5’6” and weigh 12st, would like to lose another 1.5 before any potential surgery. Also have hysterectomy and appendix scars I am booked in for a couple of consultations but don’t want to waste time if this is not viable
