Hello, Kitters. I do know of somebody that had a tummy job after two kids, and especially because I know her story, I strongly recommend it as a last resort. Although I heard of horror stories about plastic surgeries gone wrong, I can't say that my friend's experience is a failure - not at all, her tummy is flat and nice and she doesn't look as she has given birth twice, BUT she's stuck with the scars for life, which in my opinion is a dear price to pay for the hastiness to getting back to a trimmer belly. If there are other ways - more effort and time consuming, but that don't bring you under the knife (cause, after all, surgery remains surgery, with all its risks and implications), I suggest you try those first, and persist, and if you really don't see satisfying results after a constant effort over a reasonable period of time, only then consider drastic methods. The scaring largely depends on the extent of surgery (my friend had a full abdominoplasty and she has a very visible hip to hip scar on her lower abdomen, a little pinkish around her belly button) and, even though they told her she'd be able to conceal it with the bikini when she goes to the beach, it is still visible and it draws attention. It's been almost two years since she had it, and it's still pretty prominent and noticeable. They said that, with time, it will flatten and discolor, but so far... not so good. This is just my opinion, and I'm sure you'll hear other people advising the exact opposite... the decision is yours, but it should always be a very informed one. Gathering stories from people is the best thing to do, in my opinion. This is why I shared this. |
