What are the side effects of tummy tuck with mesh reinforcement?

August 9, 2015
Asked By:babypicasso in New York, NY

I have read that a mesh reinforcement is not necessary in a traditional tummy tuck, however, I have also read that the mesh can help to give a better hour glass shape (as it acts like an inner corset). If I choose to have the mesh, I want to know what I'm in for. What are the negatives / side effects/ long term effects of using the mesh in a tummy tuck?
