Hi! I have had 3 kiddos and I need some work! I am sure I have diastasis and my weight gain has caused my stomach to grow as well, I look pregnant still. I'm considering a tummy tuck and breast implants or a lift. I do have a gall bladder scar and have been told this will make the tummy tuck challenging. I have an appt soon and just want to see if it's even work considering at this point. Also, I don't want to lose weight as I'm happy at 140 pds!

Answer: Mommy makeover Dear alexistrav, generally speaking, you want to reach your goal weight before you consider a tummy tuck, otherwise your results will be suboptimal if you continue to lose weight after the surgery.If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Mommy Makeover Thank you for your question. Gallbladder scars certainly increase the risk of complications. That being said, I have performed dozens of tummy tucks on patients who have the exact same scar as yours with excellent outcomes and very few complications. Best wishes to.
