Tummy Tuck for butt-like stomach?

Hi there- This is actually a very common situation after vertical incisions are used for c-section, and can absolutely and aesthetically be improved through abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) techniques.  Here is some advice on finding the best situation for you:

You have an interesting but not incredibly rare problem-severe muscle atrophy.  The bulge is the result of inability of the rectus muscles to hold back the abdominal contents.  If a CT (cat) scan were done your abdomen would demonstrate very thin, frail muscles.  Don't get me wrong, it's not due... more

From your photo and height and weight, you look like an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck.  There is no other procedure that will do anything worthwhile to consider.     As long as you are done having kids and are in good physical and psychological health and have good support for the... more

An abdominoplasty would, in all likelihood, remove your vertical scar and trade it for the traditional transverse scar of an abdominoplasty.  Your muscles appear weak and separated and they could be tightened at the time of surgery. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon and they will be able to... more

A traditional tummy tuck will remove the skin in the lower abdomen including the so called butt scar. A diastasis repair is usually performed with a tummy tuck and should be performed in your case as you seem to have lax abdominal muscles. repairing the muscles will help with the protuberance of the abdomen.

I think you would probably have a very good result with a conventional TT.  It appears that you have some significant muscle laxity which can also be adressed with the TT.  I agree that you would have to accept a hip-to-hip scar, but this scar usually blends in much better than the vertical scar... more
