I have had two c-sections. I specifically spoke to my last surgeon about my concerns of a hanging down flap thing. She sort of shrugged it off and said that’s what tummy tucks are for. I understand my postpartum appearance and happiness are not her concern, and I tried to let it roll off my back. But today I looked in the mirror and broke into tears.

I was 130 lbs when I conceived this child, delivered at 156 lbs, and was 140lbs at 4 days postpartum.

I am now 7 days postpartum. I know there’s more healing that will happen over the upcoming weeks and months. However, I am wondering if this is going to require plastic surgery to correct. Has anyone looked like this newly postpartum and been able to correct it through non-surgical efforts?
