Full Abdominoplasty
|
Question: I had my 2nd consultation with a plastic surgeon who confirmed that liposuction would
only make my elephant-skin blubber tummy worse. We both agreed that a full
tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is not an option as I want to have more kids
someday (a long way off, though!). But he reccommended a "mini" tummy tuck
that was not as drastic, but would still get rid of most of the extra skin
and underlying fat.
Anyone had this or heard of it?
Answer: t's perfectly possible, AFAIK, to have another baby after a full
abdominoplasty, but you may lose your results (I would think the same might be
true of a mini one, but you'd have less money invested). I looked up "mini
tummy tuck" (with quotation marks) on Google and got a number of helpful sites
The mini version sounds a little more attractive to me -- if I were ever going
to be at ideal body weight! That's the real kicker.
That's what my surgeon told me. I was certain I was done having kids,
but, frankly, the way I felt, I would have had the surgery
regardless...and just repeated the process years later! Also, if you
gain a lot of weight following a tummy tuck, it's not going to look as
good years later. Now that I've healed for a couple of years, I have a
faded line and the skin is still taut. I don't know about a "mini
tuck"...
I went back about 6 months following the surgery to have some lipo areas
redone (no charge), and the lipo doesn't hurt much.
