Anyone on here had a tummy tuck done?
How long did you require off work? X
Yes but it was a mini one not a full one where they reposition your belly button or give you a new one
I think I was off for 6 weeks maybe a bit longer. I know I definatly had sex when I was on hloudly if that' helps
I had it done at Xmas time so around the week before Xmas then went on holiday in jan for three weeks so def a min of 6 weeks before I went back to work. But I had factored in for 8 -10 weeks off
But mine was quite simple operation , just reopening a previous C section scar removing the excess bit of skin which wasn't a lot and tightening up the stomach muscles
The whole op took about 1 hr from start to finish and it's not visible even in underwear / beach wear as the scar is very very low down and not that wide either
A full tummy tuck takes a lot longer to do operation wise and probably longer to recover from as well I think the scaring is a lot more noticeable as you will probably have a scar from the belly button to pubic bone ( going downwards if you get the idea ) and one going from hip to hip like a C section scar but bigger
Only you would know what you need /want .I knew I wanted/ needed a mini tummy tuck because my stomach wasn't fat if that makes sense
If you want any more info feel free to PM me
You will need a full tummy tuck if you have a beer belly type belly but if it's mainly because of a C-section and you have lost the stomach muscles and have a small bit of loose skin then a mini tummy tuck is what you need
Do some reasearch and compare pictures so you know what u want because I saw a lot of surgeons
( well medical advisors all from the big chains like transform, Harley medical & hospital group ) and they all said f/ TT - cynically I think because it's more money
I also I paid privately to have 3 seperate consultations with surgeons and they all said mini TT
I wont lie it's very painfull I couldn't sit up straight laugh and dreaded sneezing for 10 days
I think I paid ?4500 that was with a lovely surgeon with Bupa in bristol and it was probably 6 years ago maybe more and it was for a mini tummy tuck with a small bit of lipo
If you want the surgeons name PM me
I also have a client that I have known for years who also had the fully tummy tuck and lots of excess skin removal and he looks amazing 😃
