Posted under Tummy Tuck q&a

Will full tummy tuck "fix" my stomach? Getting rid of the loose skin and stretch marks. (Photo)

I am 23 and have two sons. I want to feel confident in my own skin and would love to be able to wear a 2 piece bathing suit once again. I have stretch marks and some loose skin by the bellybutton. I am 5'6" and weigh 125 pounds. Since I am fairly thin, will the healing process be easier than that of an individual that is overweight? When would I be able to get in a pool? I don't plan on more kids, but unplanned pregnancies are common, would a pregnancy down the road ruin the tummy tuck?
