My mother had one a few years ago, and i looked after her for 3 months after the operation. It was a horrible time, very gory and awful seeing her in so much pain (when she wasn't out of it on painkillers).
I understand that after childbirth a woman's stomach slackens loads, and a tuck to correct this is obviously a temptation. But i would advise your friend to treat it as a last resort.
Intensive exercise, and even hiring a personal trainer to target this area and motivate your friend would in my eyes be a much better option. Liposuction is also a less intrusive option with much less downtime and scarring.
My mother is all healed up now, eventhough she still has a huge purple scar (hidden by big knickers) and a slightly weird reconstructed belly-button. She says she regrets it now and would advise people against such an intrusive operation. I agree.
If your friend does go for the full tuck please prepare her for a horrible few months. The procedure can be very traumatic and is often alot worse than you could imagine. Whatever you choose i wish your friend the best of luck, you too if you will be looking after her. It's not a job for the faint hearted.

I fairly doubt it. at the beginning you may choose 2 diverse docs to accomplish 2 diverse operations fairly plenty on the comparable time. additionally maximum coverage firms do no longer conceal elegance surgical treatment expenses, if any do. it is something you may pay for out of pocket in view that's pointless surgical treatment. Too undesirable it may no longer be performed in view which you're already all open and such interior the 1st place. Oh yet another ingredient..for the section you could settle for a community and saved wide awake. For a tummy tuck you will could be placed under that's a various anesthetic.

I wouldnt go abroad for any surgery, I had an operation on my lower stomach, a year on last week I had to return for corrective surgery to remove little balls of tissue that formed above my scar line. Luckily it wasnt to far to go and my surgeon performed it free of charge, but I had to pay hospital costs.
If something like that can happen with a tummy tuck, you might need a few flights back there.

i had one unfortunately i can't help you with that particular clinic but it was'nt too bad and the scar has now faded quite a lot, i had a caessarian with my first child and quite honestly found that worse. but i would think it a good thing to ask questions with regard to the place you are going, who actually is to perform the op and qualifications they have ect, try to speak to only medically qualified people and not salespeople who have no medical background, but trying simply to sell to you. i wish you luck.

Czech doctors coming to the UK to work need to take further studies as their level of education is not recognised as being high enough to work here.
Do you REALLY want to go there to have some doctor you have no knowledge of cut you up? If things go wrong, what can you do?

I read an artical with horrific pictures in NOV 2006 issue of GALMOUR mag. Please go and read that before you even think about surgery.
