WORTH IT
I am 36 years old, mother of 4. After all my pregnancies, my stomach was just not the same, after carrying twins, it was never going to be the same. I have wanted a tummy tuck for 5+ years. For me this was not a weight loss procedure. I am 5'5 and hover around 150lb, size 6/8. This was procedure was so I could feel comfortable with my reflection again. I had stretch marks, a frown of a belly button, and and extra pouch of a belly I was always trying to hide or tuck in the right pair of pants. I finally took the plunge and scheduled my surgery. 2 week post now and I am feeling great. The first week was rough, but at thins point I almost feel like I could go to the gym. Images may be added later, as I am still healing 2 weeks post op.

Hello, would you recommend your doctor? Also, did you have a mmo or just a tummy tuck. I too am 36 and planning a mmo in about a year. I'd love to hear more about your journey.

I am 4 weeks post surgery and feel great. Overall 90% normal. Lower swelling still exists, but I feel like I can exercise and do just about everything I could before. If you are considering a tummy tuck, I recommend several weeks of exercise first to help strengthen your core, it'll only help in your recovery.

Your results are fantastic! Mine looks similar to your before and I'm scheduled for surgery in a month

Good luck. If you have any small kids try to get rid of them for the first few days, makes life easier! Otherwise just lay low and you'll be off drains sooner and swelling will subside quicker.

I also have four, my youngest is 7 years old. Will I need help for myself? Or just for my kids?
