redo...tummy tuck...

I have asked you several questions regarding my suture removal.Since then...now 8 mo. later ,I have returned to the original Clinic,and had a consult with the Owner,and leading surgeon.My muscle has totally streched out,and he has agreed to resuture my fascia,and basically tighten me back up again.This will be my 3rd. procedure,2.5 yrs ago,a tummy tuck...1.5 yrs later surure removal,and now 9 mo. later,a retightening.How many can a person have???I know I need it...because this is so aweful,but curious what your opinion is,and have you had others go through this?Thank you,and I will look forward to what you know of this.Sincerely,Neicy 42

There is no limit to the re-operation on your fascia.  The questions more relates to the nature of your fascia and whether additional support to the fascial repair would be appropriate (like a mesh graft to reinforce the repair).
