Asked By:Marsha28 in Ash Flat, AR

Planning to do a hysterectomy and tummy tuck at the same time, I had a couple of consult...two think that I'm not a candidate for a full tummy tuck the others think that lipo of flanks, muscles repair and a short scar TT will work for me, I'm confused is that possible? To get a flat tummy with just a mini TT? Other Doctor thinks that full tummy tuck with a vertical scar is best. Please help. My surgery is in July.mi also had a C-section.
