Is It Safe to Get a Tummy Tuck After Having 3 C-Sections?

Deborah Simms
I am a 38 year old mother of 3. Each delivery was done by C-section. Needless to say I have a pouch that I hate. It distorts my once shapely figure. I am considering a tummy tuck. Is it safe. After my last child was born my OBGYN said that I had a great deal of scarred tissue and the uterus lining was very thin. How will this affect my health if I were to get a tummy tuck.
