    Default Tummy tuck while camming

    Hello,


    I went to my surgeon's office and I asked him about a mini tummy tuck.. He said I would need a full because i have muscle seperation.. so like no wonder no amount of exercise is working for me.
    I am a skinny person. but I have had two kids and my muscles are seperated.. and I have a little bit of stubborn fat and skin that could be removed. He advised me to go with a full tummy tuck.
    I said okay. (really insecure about my tummy althought im skinny and you cant tell on cam that i have stretch marks or stretchy skin unless i bend over which i dont really do.

    So, I am going in for a full tummy tuck. Has anyone gone through this while camming?
    I am scared... about the drains. I already have a plan to earn money while i cant do sex shows.. but will be camming after a few days hanging out online selling videos
    I researched dermablend....does anyone know how soon i can use it on my scar? like 2 weeks?


    How long were you out of work?
    how much pain were you in?
    hows your scar?

    Hey, I can't really answer your question but I also had two mini me's. I have loose skin and it just won't snap back. I was thinking of getting a tummy tuck, how much will yours be?

    Girl, a tummy tuck is a very serious surgery. I haven't had one but I used to work for a plastic surgeon. You need to plan on being off for quite a while. It is mad painful. I would recommend doing a lot of research. Google "tummy tuck swell hell". Hopefully that will show you what you need to be prepared for.

    My sister in law had one...the scar was a good 8 inches across her abdomen and she had to wear a special girdle for several months after the surgery.

    I was going to get a mini tummy tuck but after a lot of research i decided not to.Some people say it takes up to a year to completely heal.I was ok with taking 2-3 month off work but anything more i would'nt be able to.Plus i dont have any one to help me with chores and my toddler for that long.My friends n family might be able to do it for the first month but after that id probaly be on my own.

    I'm going to wait till im married to consider it again.I also didnt like the big scar that comes along with the tummy tuck.Good luck.Please share your experience and keep us updated.

    Yea. I decided to go along with it. I know he said he wud make my scar along my pube line so it wud be low. Some ppl it looks higher?? I know my scar will be a purple light pink..since I'm super pale...so thinking derma blend will covee it. My bf said well just pay for it to be lasered off after its had a good amiunt of healing...and he's gunna get me a ph soap bar that fades scars...he had a chemical burn on his face and the special soap faded it..can barely tell. I'm worried about work...I plan on making over 100 videos before my surgery and not releasing them til after my surgery...so I can sell them while chilling and hanging out. 3 weeks til I can resume sexual activity...so not too long. I read the more skin muscle seperation and fat that neefs removef the harder it will ve cause a lot of skin will be removed..but my tummy doesn't sag or have a flap. Its just not toning up cause I have fat deposits and the super stretchy skin from having babies..and stretch marks. He said most if mine will be cut out..since they're under my belly button..I have a small one above my belly button and that will be lowered so basically no stretch marks..just an ugly scar....but bf is pretty positive about the ph bar and laser therapy. I'm nervous mainly because ur waist is all ur mobility ys know so it frightens me...I'm sure ill be fine. Plan on going back online after my drains are removed but not doing anything sexy.. just going to hang out and sell videos. Don't plan on having it done til late feb...early march or something. But wud still like to hear some stories. I go back in dec. 10th to go over everything so ill tell yoy guts what he says

    I can't imagine you wanting to sit to sell videos either...sounds very painful. I think eventually I'll get one from any lose skin I might have from weight loss. I'd prefer they do it at the puble line. I've seen some awesome tattoo cover ups that help.

    The scar would bother me, even if it give me a barbie doll flat stomach. Any chance the skin will tighten up, with time and patience?

    If you're interested, the website "real self" has a lot of great information about surgical procedures. The site is filled with Q & A that certified doctors/surgeons answer, they also have a forum, before and after pictures, reviews of procedures and doctors etc.

    http://www.realself.com/tummy-tuck/answers

    That section has a lot of Q & A.

    http://www.realself.com/tummy-tuck/guides

    The link here ^ has information about the procedure and what to do about scars.

    You might have already researched the topic alot, I just figured i'd put those links in here as realself is a great site to see the pros and cons of surgeries, and the answers from the doctors are quite indepth!

    I'd figure since you're young and if you go to an experienced surgeon you wouldn't be left with too bad a scar. My mom's friend got one and she said it left her with a horrible scar. However, she is also in her late 40's. Have you seen any photos of this surgeon's work? That may help you get a better idea of what the after will look like.

    I have a stomach that never went back as well after my 8lb daughter. Personally, I'd rather have the scar. The tattoo coverup is a good idea too, although I don't know how you'd feel about that.

    I didn't have a tummy tuck, but I had full body liposuction- From under my chin, to just above my knees in 2001. Even though I had the very best surgeon, (he has done lots of Playboy Models), the a..hole told me that recovery time would be only a few days! Wrong!! I told him that I was a dancer, and said I didn't have that long for recovery time. he told me that he understood, and said that he often operates on someone on a Friday, and they're back to work on Monday. It's Bullshit! I was in pain, (he only gave me Tylenol) and was completely puffy, swollen, couldn't sit down, and had black, blue. yellow, purple bruises, for a couple of months! plus I had to wear the girdle that went down past my thighs, and a neck holster the entire time. Finally I had to get back on the road, so I just covered my bruises with makeup, and go out on tour after only 2 weeks after the surgery.. It took almost a year for my tummy swelling to go down. The worst part was that all the fat came back, (except under my chin), so that was 8 grand wasted!!
    I hate that Doctors will tell You what they think you want to hear.
    Just be very careful. Do plenty of research, and get several consultations from different Doctors. I had 2 other consults, and both were .One Dr., who did a lot of Michael Jackson's surgery told me I needed a facelift! I was so young, and was only there for lipo! talk about trying to 'upsell'. Both Michael and that dr. are deceased now, so may they rest in peace.

    I've had a full (very full--they even cut up to my belly button!) tummy tuck. I was a pretty skinny girl, and then I got pregnant with twins. I was HUGE!!! I had super bad stretch marks, and lots of very saggy skin. My tummy tuck was in April of this year, and I still have a pretty big scar across my entire abdomen and going up to my belly button. I also developed more stretch marks, since my stretched my skin to get it really tight (not sure if I would have these if they hadn't cut up to my belly button...don't get it done at a military hospital!).

    I use Dermablend to cover the scar, and it hides it pretty well. I can still notice it, but I've never had any comments or anything about it while camming (not that I've been doing it that long, though!). It's a huge PIA to put it on each time though, and it's rather expensive. However, it looks VASTLY better than it would if I still had all my saggy, pouchy skin!

    I couldn't imagine camming for probably at least 2 months afterwards. It was a good month and a half before I was even able to lay flat on my back, and about 2.5 months before I could sit up without looking really awkward. Also, as someone mentioned, you do need to wear a binder for a few months afterwards. It can get pretty painful if you spend too much time without it. You'll have the drains in for at least a week, and you will NOT be able to cam with them in; believe me, you won't even want to! You'll also be VERY out of it for the first week, due to the meds (I don't really remember anything from that week, except for the LARGE Victoria's Secret order I got in the mail afterwards, haha).

    Any other questions, feel free to ask!

    I ended up going through with the tummy tuck and breast augmentation .Let me tell you.I don't see myself camming anytime soon.The picture above is a before and after.The first three days are brutal .I have a lot of swelling on my abdomen and my back is super sore all the time from being hunch over .I ended going with a full tummy tuck with muscle repair.The best advice i have right now is make sure you have some money saved cuz it seems like its going to take a while to be back to my normal self to where i can cam.

    I just pray it doesn't take more than 3 months to start back working .I didn't think it was going to be this painful.Hopefully it gets better.

    I am considering to have a tummy tuck, but I am scared on the pain and the time off from camming, too! I am on the facebook group watching the posts on the updates and tips.... I think I am more scared to do it than before. haha. On facebook, you can search for tummy tuck and they will tell you which doctors to go to and costs.

    In case you wanted to explore more non surgery options first, you can still heal the muscle separation even years later if you do the proper exercises. Some exercises actually make it worse, like regular crunches. I did something similar to this after I had my twins and it really helped, in addition to wearing an abdominal binder literally every single second I could, morning and night. Doing this again now that I've had baby #4. http://fitmepink.blogspot.com/2010/0...uest-post.html



    Zombie thread, never mind the OP probably decided long ago! LOL I'll just leave my reply incase it helps anyone else.

    oooo thanks for the link! I am a very heavy iced tea drinker and its probably one of many things causing me to have a belly that is so hard to lose. I had never been pregnant and I can't lose this belly!

    That is crazy GingerStripper. You look so great, I can hardly tell you have any kids. I have a mom pouch down on my lower stomach. Its so gross. However, I did have 6 kids in less than 7 years so I think I look OK considering. I am considering the same thing with a tummy tuck.
