C section and tummy tuck?

[PixieCake]

Does anyone really have a tummy tuck at the same time as a c-section or have I been reading too much celebrity gossip?

It is just a case of snipping off the excess skin (so seems sensible) or is it another major bit of surgery with it's own additional risks etc?

I haven't dared ask this to anyone in real life - I'm already being branded 'too posh to push' for choosing an elective CS. Thought I'd sound out mumsnetters before I mention it to the consultant - worried he might not take me seriously if I start asking about things like that.

Has anyone had one or know anything about it? Could the obstetrician do it or would a separate cosmetic surgeon need to be brought in? Would it cost lots more money?

Please don't judge me for asking this!!

Zero judging at all from me. All I would recommend is that if you're having ELCS on NHS, my instinct would be to wait until it is approved officially until you raise this.

If you're going private then be upfront from the off. It would cost an extra four figure sum.

I have only heard of these being done anecdotally. Have you thought about waiting until say six months post-birth, to see how your stomach looks then? You may just snap right back!
