Risks of Repeat Tummy Tuck?

July 3, 2010
Asked By:Beth39 in Dallas, Texas

I am considering a second tummy tuck. Due to the extreme laxity of my stomach muscles after pregnancy, my dr was unable to fully tighten my them during the first procedure. While my shape is better, I have not achieved the flat stomach result that I want. My question is whether there are any additional risks in doing a second tummy tuck and whether it can cause the scar to be more noticeable?
