My mother has had a tummy tuck, and the recovery she went through with it was horrendous! She was in so much pain afterwards, and could barely move for the first month. I know a c/s is major abdominal surgery as well, but a tummy tuck is a lot more invasive, therefore more painful. And you'd need a plastic surgeon to do the tummy tuck, an obstetrian could not do this. Well I certainly wouldn't let one do it.
