I’m not sure if it was my little ones always grabbing my tummy and calling it jelly (!), or being so uninspired to even go out because I was never comfortable in how my clothes fitted, or that I was sick of my own self-pity. I don’t know what made me actually call and book a consultation. I followed their social media and started to think: maybe I should have a tummy tuck one day? I had been a client of a cosmetic centre for over two years - just for facials and dermal treatments - and each time I visited, I would see the plastic surgery services they offered. Then I turned 38 and was in more pain as my tummy drooped south and became a burden to even carry or squish into spanx or jeans. By the time my third turned two, I still looked six months pregnant. I did the no drinking thing, the no carb thing. "I was so uninspired to even go out because I was never comfortable in how my clothes fitted." Image supplied.
I love my third child to bits, but if my abdominal muscles were separated before, they were now non-existent.Ībsolutely nothing worked on my mid-section. Three and a half years later I had my third c-section, and what I call my “body-breaking” baby. I always wore dresses in a tent shape, or moo moo dresses as my husband liked to say – never any styles that were fitted at my waist. I liked scarves too, as they could just hang and cover the front of my tummy. I tied jumpers around leggings to hide everything and wore long coats and tops whenever possible. Always wear high-waisted pants, mum jeans and shirts, nothing tight against the skin. So I just continued to do what I had done for much of my adult life and that was to hide my stomach with clothing. Cut out the wine.īut try telling that to every mum of young children out there, THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH WE CAN DO. So even though the scales were kind, I was totally out of proportion with what looked like a bag of oranges tied around my mid-section.
#BBL TUMMY TUCK RECOVERY SKIN#
My waist went wider and thicker and the skin got saggier and heavier. Within a year of my second child I got back to my pre-baby weight at the age of 35 which was a small 12. My first child was a c-section, followed 21 months later by another child and another c-section. I put it down to my genes and my body shape because I trained my butt off, and while I wore the bias silk cut dress of my dreams, you can still see my tummy in the wedding photos.īut then came kids. Even on my wedding day when I was at my lowest weight, I still had a protruding tummy.
But no matter my size, I’ve never had a flat stomach. I would say that I have always been a relatively ‘normal’ weight. I didn’t make the decision to have a tummy tuck lightly at all.
#BBL TUMMY TUCK RECOVERY FULL#
I’m currently resting in bed post a “ tummy tuck” and thought I would share my experience on having a full abdominoplasty, post three children (all c-sections) and at the age of 38.
