1311499 tn?1273675955 how much does a tummy tuck cost? can you have one after having 3 c-sections and cut vertical with all 3 of them? I have also had gull blatter surgery and my tubes tied. My last procedure was about 2 years ago. I have bad belly flab from my babies. I have had 4 babies. I have really bad stretch marks too. Is there anything I can do that is not surgery that will help with any of this too? I hate my body!! I just want to look good again. Any answer? Thank you for your time.

Avatar n tn i am 4wks. post tummy tuck, my belly button is red, but when i do not wear my binder the reddness gets lighter. it seems like the air from not wearing the binder helps it. i am putting bacitracin on the area. the md said i can leave off the binder for approx. 8hrs., then put it back on. i really do not want to wear the binder anymore. any suggestions will help, thank you. hbrand@ aol.
Avatar m tn My best friend had a tummy tuck by a doctor who was horrible a year ago. She has since had repeated issues with her belly button. He left stitches in there and they are slowly but surely trying to make there way out. Her belly button is not very irritated & infected not to mention she is now getting blisters all around her belly button due to all the liquid. She went to the ER because of the pain this is causing her but no doctor will perform surgery on her due to the liability.

Avatar n tn i would try and lose the weight first try and be around you ideal weight before surgery, i was around 15lbs overweight before my surgery, i planned on losing it, but no matter what i do i cant lose it i actually gained an additional 12lbs since my tummy tuck, but 40lbs sounds like a lot, tummy tucks are meant to make your belly tight and they are expensive and painful i dont thinkyou would want to do it twice
Avatar n tn I would recommend waiting until after you have all your kids before getting a tummy tuck. I got one after having 2 kids. I was much like you after the 1st kid, but since I wanted another kid, I didn't want to pay for the surgery twice. After a tummy tuck, your tummy is very tight. If you get pregnant after a tummy tuck, you may experience a lot of pain while your belly is growing. Esp. since you want other things besides a tummy tuck, i say wait.

Avatar n tn I had a tummy tuck with liposuction 12 months ago. I am still swollen and sometimes my stomach looks distorted. I have not put on any extra weight since surgery.I am so frustrated because at times it hurts like a pulling feeling. I went back to the doctor a couple of times and he tells me to wear a ace band around me tight and i do but it does't help. Is this normal and if so how much longer does it take. i cannot exercise at all or lift anything heavy because it will swell even more.
Avatar f tn I had a full tummy tuck in August of 2008....some complications followed with drainage, and I had to be aspirated about 7 times with a needle. It has now been a year and I am left with a huge bulge just above the belly button. It is hideous, and my doctor says he does not know what it is and he has never run across this type of probelm. He says he needs to consult some colleagues about this. What could it be, and what should I do??
Avatar n tn It was not planned. I am scared bc I had a tummy tuck April 2011. I have a 9 and 7 year old. It took me a year to stand up straight. Can I really stretch that far?
Avatar f tn However, someone with poor health cannot be a good candidate for tummy tuck surgery. Good health is mandatory for a tummy tuck procedure. And for what you asked, tummy tuck surgery can be a great solution for your problem. It tightens the abdominal muscles and removes the excess fat and skin. It will definitely give you a better result. Because I know many people who are satisfied with the tummy tuck surgery they underwent.
Avatar f tn I had 2 csections. ..a tummy tuck 5yrs ago. ..and now expecting. Concerned about my future tummy tuck and my baby having room to develop. Not the tummy tuck. ..just my babie's health.

8987997 tn?1413288175 So I was just hoping to hear that I am not the only one suffering from terrible stretchmarks on tummy area. With my first I got them baaaad but after 8 years they faded and I just accepted them, Im now 30 weeks with 2nd and it's like my old ones are becoming visible again (like light purple) and new ones are just carrying on where my old ones left off (darker ones) I know the worse is yet to come im just so upset today about it today. Has anybody considered a tummy tuck or had one??
