Caesarian and tummy tuck..

[Banana_juice]

Hi there,

I'm just wondering if anyone has had (or is planning to have) a cesarean combined with apronectomy/mini tummy tuck. I would like to have one done and have started doing a research on the list of obstetricians. However i'm feeling a little clueless at the moment.The hospital of choice would either be RPAH or Canterbury (still in two minds). Would appreciate it if you could share your story or give a recommendation.

Thx

im pretty sure i had one with my second as i joked about it and the ob said ah we have to cut away the scare tissue anyway adn winked at me..I had a nice flat tummy 3 weeks later adn remember going to a wedding and having people floored that I had had a baby not long before hand.

No I have this unattractive GUNT after c/s number 4

Seroulsy somehting that I have thought about but I don't think I can with the diabetes....After 4 huge babies I would really love one and the thought has crossed my mind.
I am looking more form the medical perspective as I have pretty major overhangs after 10 - 12 pound babies and I have a lot of trouble healing as a result I last one was over 8 weeks and then turned into a haemorrage and then a major infection ). Certainly if I was offered on I would look into it more.

Are you considering from a medical or cosmetic perspective?

Hi

I know its possible cause someone I knew about 8 years ago had it done with her second child. I understand that her Dr suggested it and that she had huge babies. But don't have any details for you.

Can Ob's actually do this? I thought that would be an area for a plastic surgeon? With my 2nd c/s he did scar revision (I get keloid scarring ) but he only took maybe a centremetre each side, nothing near a tummy tuck.

I'm so jealous. I hate my apron tummy. DH says it's my battle scar, god love him, but I hate it so much. My tummy is actually pretty firm and flat, but then the apron gives my lower tummy a real funny look. Sighs

I'm not a fan of my "Stoodgey belly" as i call it either, but I'm guessing you'd have to have your Ob for the CS then a plastic sureon for a proper abdoplasty afterwards? And wouldn't they have to knock you out for the abdoplasty?
