I Weigh 13 Stone and I Am 5ft5, Would It Be Possible for Me to Get a Tummy Tuck at my Current Weight?

November 29, 2012
Asked By:nat0708

I have already lost 3 stone after having my 4th and final child just over a year ago and i am still wanting to lose more but im thinking of a tummy tuck to get rid of my overhanging tummy. It would make it so much more easier for me to exercise without this constant floppy 'rubber ring' around me! As well as boost my confidence. I am 28, 5ft5 and currently 13stone. I have been sterilised so theres no worries of me putting my weight back on due to pregnancies. Would i be a candidate?
