41 Yrs Old, 3 Kids, Much Needed Tummy Tuck and Muscle Repair

WORTH IT$10,000
I was tired of looking pregnant all the time due to muscle separation caused from 3 large pregnancies. I tried diet and exercise but nothing helped. I opted to have a tummy tuck to repair my muscles and happiness. Although the first 10 days were tough following the procedure, I would do it all over again if I had to. It was worth every pain and penny! Couldn't be happier with my results!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am 2 days away from my tummy tuck and I am getting nervous. my build is very similar to yours and I’m just hoping the results will be worth it.

I'm so excited for you! I'm not going to lie, the first 10 days are tough, but I promise you, once younger past that, you will be so happy with your decision. 5 months later, I still check out my stomach in the mirror and can't believe it's mine! HAHA! Best of luck and feel free to reach out if you have questions or need advice ;)

Wow! Looking flat! Happy to hear you are doing well! When you start exercising just remember to ease into it and start off with easy exercises first ;)

I just applied my 3rd 10 day+ application of Embrace. I say + because ideas able to get more than 10 days out of my 2nd application. ;) My scar is still red, but it does feel flat and, other than the sides, looks thin. Before I applied the silicone strips yesterday I was hanging Halloween webs/decorations and my incision scar was hurting, almost a burning sensation. I think it was too much stretching. Anyways, feels better now.

Wow, ur scar looks amazing. No bump on it at all. I can’t see where u would need any hydroquinone. I get dark scars bc I’m ethnic. I knew it was gonna b a thing but still better than my little extra ‘friend’ hanging out down there. Ur scar is healing so nicely

Thank you, my scar is still really red, but I guess that is normal at this point in time. I'm worried about the sides, the applications aren't long enough to cover them so I've just been using generic mederma. You're totally right though, this scar is way better than having a belly.
