Hi, I wouldn't think there would be any problems with it. However it is normal to put on more weight with twins and normal for it to take longer to lose that weight and for your skin to improve in appearance. Many Women who have twins (such as myself) end up with split abdominal muscles and skin that has stretched beyond repair. It is baggy even when you lose the weight and can look like crepe paper. Some younger Mums manage to bounce back. I'm in my late 20s and I think my tummy has improved alot better than Mums at least 10 years older. Even still, tummy tuck is something I really want and they do lipo anyway most of the time alongside.
I'm pretty sure that you have to be done having kids to have an abdominoplasty though and I am just not sure. That is why I thought liposuction may be good in the mean time to at least make my tummy a bit better. I had a C-section and I don't know if it would get in the way of lipo or not but the scar likes to stick in close to my body like a kink even if I do put weight on. I hate it. I so wanted a natural birth and would have been more motivated to get it if I knew what my tummy was going to look like. A tummy tuck would eliminate the c-section scar and surroundings altogether hopefully.
I'm waffling on sorry. Alot of Mums of twins will have been through this dilemma. Have you tried the NZ twin support page on FB? I know one that has good advise on natural births if you are interested but it is an international one.
