    Default which is worse sag or scar?

    I posted this in the body forum, but I really need help so I am reposting here. I hope that is ok. I have some loose skin on my tummy from having babies. It is not going to go away. I am considering a tummy tuck (I am not fat it is just loose) but the scar scares the crap out of me. Which is worse for stripping a saggy belly or a scar? Please help.

    Scars can be covered with a variety of makeup products.

    I've also heard that the scars aren't too bad/not noticeable in club lighting. Saggy skin will be, and no makeup can cover that up.

    Agreed with the above posters.
    Scars can be easily covered and from what I've seen are below the bikini line, so they're covered by your thong anyway.

    Have you seen a plastic surgeon for a consult? There are many advancements now-maybe the scar won't be that big.

    Also, what is your skin tone? If you have pale skin, you may not even need makeup to cover it after it fades. (Usually takes a year or longer). It was this way for my breast aug. My scars are 1 & 1/4" curved around the nipple and can't be seen except in bright sunlight. (And you REALLY have to look to see them).

    I have severe scarring from severe cystic acne I had until I recently got on Accutane.

    Makeup + strip club lighting = not visible by anyone


    I'm sure it works the same for a tummy tuck scarring.

    I honestly think a tummy tuck scar would be better looking than sagging skin anyway.

    also you can cover up a tummy tuck scar with a pretty tattoo if you don't mind tattoos.

    I agree makeup can do wonders, however I am now looking at recovery time. it sounds like you swell for up to a year! If I go get a tummmy tuck the recovery may be so unattractive that dancing will be out of the question. Yikes! My skin is only slightly sagging, like when I bend over it hangs a little and there is slight wrinkling. My husband says he never notices it because my boobs are so rocking lol. so maybe the surgery isn't the way to go?

    The Sag is definitely worse and some guys are into scars, but not sags.

    It's not too bad at all.. In fact, if you were to wear a corset and just pull the boobs down, you may not even need the surgery. If you do get surgery the scar would be very minimal.

    Your sag isn't bad but in the world of dancing, expect some negative comments about it.

    If you were to get a tuck, it would be minimal and I seriously doubt you will be out of commission for a year! Maybe a few months?

    You could always wear corsets or waist cinchers if you don't want to go the surgery route?

    Are you a pole dancer? Pole fitness is a great way to tone up your midsection as most of it is core-work. Judging by your pics you are already in great shape, but if you were to gain more definition in the midsection area it might create the illusion of taught skin?

    I've worked with several girls who have had tummy tucks, and their scars were all discreet, just to put that out there... I'm not at all suggesting that the outcome of every tummy tuck will be a barely noticeable scar--so please don't interpret the above the wrong way^^'

    It's not that bad, but if it bothers you then look into Vaser lipo as it really tightens the skin.

    You can get a mini tuck, instead of a full tuck.

    But like I said in the other thread, try titan laser first if you don't want to go the TT route.

    So here is the deal. I have met with two plastic surgeons, both said I would need a full not a mini (boo). I have done laser treatments, not titan but the same idea of heating the skin to form collagen, with zero results. I have had abdominal lipo which was supposed to tighten the skin. So now I am stuck with full tuck or keep the sag. It is such a hard decision, I am so worried about the big scar plus the big expense, the pain, the recovery...

    ^ Why don;t you try dancing first, wear a corset like a few of us mentioned and see how you feel? Maybe after dancing a couple months you'll have the extra money to get the tuck. Not all men are concerned with you having the perfect body.. You'd still make money.

    You have a beautifully toned body!

    I don't think you should go through the hassle of getting a lipo right now. Maybe later when you have saved up decent cash from dancing and can afford a long recovery time?

    Meanwhile I suggest wearing a garter belt with stockings because the garter belt would be exactly where the loose skin is.

    Wear your g string over the garter belt so you never have to take the garter belt off! Guys love it when you wear something but are still naked.

    Something like this would look super sexy and no one would know about your little secret.

    I have a 2 inch BRUTAL looking scar that is discolored and raised right between my boobs, and I'm only a B cup! No one notices it! I'd say 1 out of every 70 guys asks about it.
    Dark club lighting works wonders!
