Caesarian and tummy tuck..

[skeetaboat]

From my understanding an apronectomy is quite different and significantly less invasive than a tummy tuck.. isn't it? I thought apronectomy was basically cutting out the excess skin, and doesn't involve the muscles. So once your uterus and muscles have been sewn up after the c section it's a matter of widening the cut accross your skin, cutting the excess out, and sewing your skin back together. That's my understanding of it, anyway, quite different to the tummy tuck. I don't think it would be as debilitating as the tummy tuck is, and certainly not much more debilitating than a c-section already is.

Skeetaboat, you've got a point! If that's all it is, and not a full-on tummy tuck then the recovery prob wouldn't be much worse than just having the caesar.
