Answers:
Hi! I had a tummy tuck and hip liposuction done in July, and I am SO HAPPY with the results, and the whole experience!

I had a twin pregnancy 3 years ago and had a horrible sag! People thought I was still pregnant! It was gross, and I was ashamed of my body and had very low self-esteem. I was an aerobics instructor before I got pregnant, and I thought I would be able to bounce right back, but people do not understand that if your skin gets overstretched (like a rubber band that is overstretched) it will not go back to it's normal shape! That is what happens to some people who have multiple pregnancies or multiple birth pregnancies. A lot of people can get back with just diet and exercise, but it depends on your skin.

I would definitely look into it. See at least 2 plastic surgeons. They can look at your situation and tell you what type of surgery is best for you. I had the hip liposuction done as well to make the contours look more natural. I did not think the surgery was bad at all....kinda like a C-section. You will definitely need a solid 2 or 3 weeks to recover. It is very important to get up and get moving as soon as possible....it helps speed up your recovery time. Within 4 weeks I was COMPLETELY back to normal. And as far as money goes...I never dreamed I could afford a tummy tuck, but my doctor offered financing through Capital One Health Care Finance, and I pay less than $200 a month.

It is worth it! My self-esteem has shot up, and I am no longer ashamed of my body. It has made me a better wife and mother. Hope this helped. Feel free to contact me if you have any more specific questions. Otherwise, best wishes with whatever you do!!!

just work out your stomach and lose the weight....see the results but I dont think you should
