Wanting a tummy tuck after losing 70lbs

Fitn'needingalift · 07-31-2009, 10:03 PM

I have lost 70lbs about 3 years ago and have had two children. I am a personal trainer and a aspiring fitness model. My problem is the stretch marks and extra skin that hold me back. I have muscle tone in my tummy and eat well and have held a steady weight of 135lbs for 2 years now. I am wondering if the scars from a tummy tuck out- weight the extra skin and stretch marks that hold me back from showing my hard work off and continue on to fitness competitions? Any advice from those that may have been in the same or (close to) circumstances?
Thanks for any advice you give!

HI I just had a TT with Lipo after losing 62lbs and I had very bad stretch marks. I am only 8 days post op but I will already say that it was so worth it!! I still have stretch marks but my abs look wonderful. although the swelling still has not gone away. Hope this helps.
