It’s been just over 4 years and a lot has changed! Not because of the surgery, but because I’m now in my 30s, and that’s just what happens! I was thin before, and I am 20 lbs heavier but still thin(ish) I work out regularly (still) I forgot about those sad droopy boobies, I wold never go back on that decision!! As for the tummy tuck, I don’t know. I don’t think the stretch marks were grotesque or an eyesore. I could def live with those. My abdominal muscles were stitched together, so when I bend over, there is no skin hanging. Being as I do workout, I’m sure I would not be able
To achieve tight, firm abs as I can now. The only downside to my TT is that with the minor 20lb weight gain, I gain fat on my belly ABOVE the scar, but do not beneath the scar, so to me it looks odd (we are our own worst critics) other than that, it’s so great, no looking back!

Funny you say this, I wish I had done a mini! If it weren’t for the severe separation of my abdominal muscles no, I wouldn’t have done it, but I’m fit and active and nothing but surgery was gonna keep my belly from drooping severely when I bent over or performed things such as a plank.

I’m still on the fence myself . My skin has loss more elasticity since the mini .its amazing how good you still look after all this time. I would be curious to see what your belly looks like in another five years .

Do you feel like your scar has dropped lower with time?

No it hasn’t, nor has it relaxed.

OMG!! Let me start off by saying, that you look phenomenal, absolutely stunning! I have been wanting and researching MMO for a while now. Not necessarily nervous about the pain, just self conscious and uneasy about the scarring from the tummy tuck. Your story certainly helped me make my mind up. Thank you for taking the time to share all your pictures. Seeing your pics 4 yrs later helped ease my mind, your scars healed up beautifully! Wow girl omg, you can barely tell.

Thank you so much for adding the scar pictures a year after surgery. I plan on having Mommy makeover in March and have been wondering what scar would look like beyond six weeks. You look fantastic, what a transition from beginning till now. Can I just ask how tall you are and what you weighed prior to surgery and what you weigh now? Also, when you were given the "ok" to work out again, was there any restrictions?

I am 5'3 120 lbs before and after. I wasn't allowed to even go for a light walk until 6 weeks, at which point I was completely cleared.
