Tummy tuck after surgery
Has anyone had any cosmetic surgery done after their procedure and how long after if so. I know my lower belly was big but it's even bigger now, even though I lost 10 lbs.

Tummy tuck after surgery
Hi! My dr told me to wait a year to do a tummy tuck to make sure my insides are all healed. I wish it was just swollen!

Tummy tuck after surgery
As soon as I lose some considerable weight I am going to have a tummy tuck. My doctor says it would be ok.

Tummy tuck after surgery
I have lost 40 lbs since my hyster and still have the overhanging belly. I'm considering a tummy tuck. I want to loss a little more weight before I have it done plus I'm waiting to see if the left ovary has to come out soon. Whenever the ovary has to go, that is when I'm having the tummy tuck.

Tummy tuck after surgery
I wish I would have thought about the TT before surgery. Even though my surgery and recovery has been fairly easy, the thought of going under the knife again is terrifying. Think I'll have to get creative about that little overhang... I used to put bandaids on my tiny boobies to cover the nipples when I didn't want to wear a bra. Maybe I'll see if bandaids will help my overhang! LOL

Tummy tuck after surgery
I don't feel so bad now.. my belly hangs over my incision too. It looks awful. Let me know how the tt's go, I'm kinda scared to go under the knief again too. I haven't started to do sit ups yet even though its been 4 months.

Tummy tuck after surgery
I opted to have a TT at the same time. And, I am so glad I did! I was quite heavy for a number of years and have lost a significant amount of weight. I had an "apron" for over 25 years and dreamed of having it removed. The results far outweigh anything I could have imagined! Even though I have swelly belly, my stomach is still flatter than it was before surgery! It is so awesome not to have that apron! Oh, and now I can wear (for the first time in my life) those sexy hi-cut undies! It's definitely worth it, ladies!
