mini tummy tuck results

by momof4athome, Feb 08, 2007 12:00AM
Could anyone let me know if they are happy with the results of their mini tummy tuck.  The scar causes me to be apprehensive.  I don't need to lose any weight, just excess stretched, scarred skin..

Hi,

I had a mini tummy tuck April 2006 to get rid of excess skin from having three kids.

I am not real happy with the way it has turned out. The scarring isn't too bad but it is the small bulge that I have above the scar which I was told is normal from having a tummy tuck. Something to do with the fibres.

I am happy though that when I sit down now that i don't have a fold of skin hanging over pants or skirts.

I think my expectations were too high.

I had a tummy tuck and breast reduction (40DDD) 2 years ago.  I am now a 38C/D and am very happy with those results.  Although my goal was to wear Victoria Secrets bras, but they don't seem to fit me right.  But as for the tummy tuck, I am glad I did it, don't have the skin haning down, clothing fits so much better.  I thought I would of had a flat tummy when done.  I have a bulge below my navel and a roll of fat above the navel.  I don't know if it was so I'd come back for liposuction or if he did the best he could with my fat.  I do not regret either surgery and would definately have it again.
