History Of C-section. Will Stomach Be Tightened To Avoid Problems For The Staples?
This will be my second c-section. First one i had emergancy in 2009. I live in a different town the doctor does staples here, im pretty scared about. Ever sence my first c-section and pregnancy ive had a bigger belly that sorta hangs over the scar.. this time around im gona get my tubes tied and get stapled. I was just wondering if the doctor would tighten my stomach to avoid problems for the staples or not?! And if i can ask for a tummy tuck or anything covered by medical??

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
While going for a caesarean section, a tightening of the stomach or a tummy tuck is not likely. The skin becomes loose after pregnancy due to the stretching. You can discuss regarding this with your surgeon.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
