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.

Answer: Tummy Tuck is a safe operation with amazing results
Congratuations on three pregnancies. I hope they are healthy bundles of joy. Without seeing photos it's impossible to give an accurate assessment. With that said, and reading your history, you are probably an excellent candidate for an abdominoplasty / tummy tuck. The procedure is very safe and is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries. It's popular because the results are typically outstanding. Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon so that you have the best chance of achieving your goal.

Answer: Tummy Tuck Good Option after C-Section
Not only is it safe to have a Tummy Tuck after a C-Section but it has many advantages:
Such as:
1.being able to do a scar revision and if too high, put it at the hairline so tends to disappear,
2. Repairing any muscle damage below
3. Correcting the Diastasis Recti (separated muscles that occur with pregnancy) which will stregthen your tummy muscles and reduce your waist line
4. Repair any hernias (like umbilical hernia which is common after pregnancy)
5. Get your body back ! to your pre pregnancy (or better) shape
