Insights From Someone Who Has Experienced Full Tummy Tuck Surgery
In the 1970’s, as a 13 year old, I underwent an operation to remove a burst appendix. The surgeon cut from my tummy button down to access the abdominal area. This seven inch scar had to be opened up again for another post operation procedure and resulted in my incurring a very unsightly scar that I lived with until I was in my mid 40’s.
With the passage of time, scar adhesions wand gravity, the scar started to cause uncomfortable tension on my tummy button. The operation and scaring did not allow for a normal abdominal wall structure and I ended with a weak and protruding lower stomach. A plastic surgeon suggested a full tummy tuck would completely remove my unsightly scar and give me a flat tummy also. I agreed to go ahead with this.
