Asked By:prettymoe11 in Miami, FL

Hi, I have had 3 csection and have some loose skin and indentation where my scar is which makes my abdomen look weird and flaccid. I would love a tummy tuck. Do you think the tummy tuck can be done under Mac anesthesia ? I have heard of some plastic surgeons doing it without general anesthesia and would love it if I could do same. In my csection, they numb you and are awake. Why can't they do tummy tucks like that? A prevail any input. Thank you
