Uncomfortable: Tummy tuck is an excellent procedure to restore an abdomen damaged by weight loss or children. Often the muscles of the abdomen are separated and require repair. That repair is responsible for a lot of the discomfort. Research you doctor carefully some of the older techniques have a high complication rate.

Pain: If your mother is in good health, a tummy tuck is generally a very safe procedure. There are many different types of tummy tucks (witch hazel) and the pain may vary depending on what needs to be done. Pain medication regimens will vary according to pain tolerance. Pain management is sometimes facilitated by use of a pain pump.
