I am not overweight at all. I am having a hard time finding before and after photos of patients who had their hernia/diastasis recti fixed post babies. Also, can the fascia/connective tissue be tightened enough to hold the abdominal wall in again? Or if it is too thin will the abdominals still hang out even after the muscles are sewn back together?
Answer: Tummy tuck on thin patients You're right. It is hard to find pics of thin patients who've had tummy tucks! But it's not because the results are not as great as other patients. The same concerns can still be treated and greatly improved -- loose skin, stretch marks, rectus diastasis. Although your abdominal wall is thinner and has less fatty tissue, the fascial layer should have equal integrity to another's. Here's a link to my photo gallery, case 2 is a thin, athletic woman who had a tummy tuck for these exact concerns.

Answer: Think 3D for flat abdomen with tummy tuck The abdomen is 3-dimensional, while flatness is a 2-D concept so it is important to understand all of the factors that influence the shape of the abdominal area. Tightening the skin, repairing a muscle separation when necessary, and removing localized external fat are all important. Internal fat, muscle tone from exercise, and body type also influence the shape of the abdomen. Muscle repair is very reliable.

Answer: Before and after photos of thin women hard to find. Does thin connective tissue mean the abdomen will never be flat? If you want a flatter abdomen and a possible hernia repaired, some type of surgical intervention will be necessary. The plication will be the essential feature. I have not seen a plication fail in hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of tummy tucks.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Abdominal muscles not skin determines the flatness of the abdomen Thank you for your question and photograph. You look like you will be a good candidate for an abdominoplasty with hernia repair and diastases repair.The condition of your abdominal muscles and the amount of volume of your internal organs and fat determines the flatness of your abdomen. The skin does not play a role in the flatness of your abdomen. Abdominoplasty will tighten the skin and make the skin tighter but will not determine how flat the abdomen is.
