Am I a suitable candidate for a tummy tuck/Possibly scar removal?

Asked By:Thrifty443696 in Oxford, Mississippi

When I was 6 years old, I had an emergency surgery and my left kidney was removed due to discovery of a Wilms Tumor. I was left with a large abdominal scar. All of my life it has made me very self conscious. I’m now 37 and I have had 2 full term pregnancies. I would like to know my options regarding my abdomen. Am I a candidate for a tummy tuck or would my scar be a problem? I want to feel confident and actually love my body, but I’m not sure what treatment will help me. Possibly scar removal?
