Tummy tuck: was it worth it?

Tummy Tuck Information

  • Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) removes excess skin and stretch marks after pregnancy or weight loss. During a tummy tuck the plastic surgeon directly removes excess abdominal skin and fat, and also tightens the abdominal wall.
  • Tightening the abdominal wall pulls in the abdomen (seen best on side view pictures) and corrects any bulge or diastasis that resulted from having children
  • If you happen to have a significant distance from your lower ribs to your pelvis (common if you are tall), then the mid-line tightening will also cause notable bowing of the musculature along the flank region, and this will improve your hour-glass figure.
  • For most patients, between 30-50% of the abdominal skin can be removed. This gets rid of any stretch marks that had been present on that skin.  The remaining skin has to be stretched out to cover the whole abdomen, and this intrinsically makes it thinner.
  • A new belly button is created. With "standard" scar length tummy tucks, the rotational component of aligning the scars helps pull in the waist line (improving the hour glass shape as well). Longer scar lengths (extended abdominoplasty) has the benefit of an anterior thigh lift.
  • A surgeon may perform liposuction in conjunction with a tummy tuck (most often the flanks or "love handles")
