I am considering getting a tummy tuck, but I am concerned about the lengthy and painful recovery. My problem is not a belly bulge or loose abdominal muscles. I simply have excess, sagging skin left over from two 9 lb babies. My stomach is flat, I have low body fat, and I'm at my ideal weight. I just hate the unsightly sagging skin.
Will the fact that I don't require extensive fat removal or muscle repair make my tummy tuck surgery less extensive? I don't think I am a candidate for a mini tummy tuck because I have sagging above the belly button as well as below. What do you think? Thanks!!
