Can Tummy Tuck Change or Distort the Pelvic Area?

During the tummy tuck procedure the fascia of the abdominal muscle is usually tightened in one or two layers. There is a great tendency nowadays not to produce too much tightening as this could have more postoperative complications. The pelvic anatomy should not be affected by this plication as the degree of tissue mobilization is limited. Some discomfort could be left early but things will get better after sometime.

Thank you for your question. It is hard to provided with a valid medical opinion without photos.  I would suggest to be treated by board certificated plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Hi there-
The short answer to your question is that yes, it is possible that your pubic area could be altered by tummy tuck surgery. The longer answer is that your individual anatomy and the precise technique used will affect the risk significantly, and even in patients with severe ptosis (sagging and distortion) of the area, the appropriate tummy tuck technique will actually aesthetically IMPROVE the area.
Poor attention to this point of anatomy and technique can result in a poor aesthetic outcome and even functional change. The best advice I can give you is the same advice I give everyone: find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon you like and feel you can trust (there is no substitute for our years of training doing tummy tucks under supervision). Talk to them about your concerns and get all your questions answered. If you aren't comfortable, move on until you find someone you are comfortable with. I hope that helps.
