I'm a 45 year old mom of two and cant stand my stomach. Im 53 and 110 lbs so not overweight however I have never gotten my stomach back after having my second child. Is my only option a tummy tuck?, what kind? Are there any non-surgical treatments to consider or do I just need to take the plunge? Id rather not have deep scars but Im not sure what else to do and am super self-conscious
35f 5ft 2inch 114lbs. I have diastasis recti 5cm and umbilical hernia. One consult said I could not have a true hernia repair with full abdominoplasty because it would compromise blood flow to umbilicus. He said that only umbilical float could facilitate both simultaneously. However my belly button already sits low but I don't have much excess skin. He did say there's would be some skin excess since he doesn't want to lower belly button too much. Is this a reasonable approach?
My weight was 112 lbs for at least 10 yrs and I'm 5'5". I am now 126 lbs. I did not change the way I eat. The change in weight started after having my fifth child at age 40. My first two were born in my early 20's and at 36, I had another, and another at age 38. So my last 3 kids I had in the span of 5 years. My body changed very little after the first 4 kids and my weight went back to 112. It was only after the fifth that I felt the need for a Tummy Tuck because of loose skin. Is it possible for this weight gain to be just the loose skin and loose fascia, and all the other loose things that go along with needing a Tummy Tuck? And if so, would this weight be gone after I get a Tummy Tuck? It doesn't look like regular weight gain, it looks like loose skin and tissue. I've looked at many pics of Tummy Tucks, and my abdominal area looks similar to a lot of them. Also, if it IS just loose stretched out skin and slack fascia that is making my stomach muscles protrude, then it wouldn't be fat so I would not need Liposuction, right? Thank you.
Looking to do TT with MR and 360 Lipo. Do you think its too much (to also add in inner though lipo? Will consult with a board certified surgeon. But wanted to have a better vague idea I chat with them about when I do go ahead and consult. 55 formerly athletic, one c section, 110#, 45 yo

41 y/o female had my last baby via c-section about 1.5 years ago. Im in really good shape but cant seem to tighten my stomach. I also got the dreaded c-section shelf with my second baby. Im naturally really thin (56 110-115lbs and size 0/2) but I hate the way my stomach looks. A tummy tuck seems so invasive and scary. Are there other options?
I have had both a tummy tuck consult and a liposuction consult. I was told the tummy tuck was not a good idea because there wasn't enough skin to pull down, and I would end up with a scar where my belly button was. As for liposuction, the doctor said she wouldn't advise it because there wasn't enough squishy there to suck out. She said she could do my flanks, but wasn't certain it would provide the result I wanted. 5'7 128 lbs. 56. Morpheus8 on my stomach helped a little. Coolsculpt not great
Hi doctor, I am 61, 5'1, 112 lbs. I had a TT w/ab muscle repair about 12 years ago. A few years ago, I found that I had itching at the top and bottom of where the muscle repair was completed. Now the skin where it itches has turned brown. The itching is the worst when I lose a few pounds. What could be causing the itching any my skin turning brown?
I had liposuction to abdomen and flanks on Dec 4th. Doctor pulled out 1800cc of fat. I'm happy with the results, but (as my doc warned me--no complaints at all about the doctor or lipo --I chose it with full knowledge of the pros and cons) it didn't get rid of my stretch marks or loose skin that I have. I'm 5'5 and 125 pounds. Now, I want that skin removed, I.e. A tummy tuck. Lipo did make the skin shrink a bit, but now I want to look even better. Question is how long after lipo can I get a tummy tuck?
So I am 6 months out from full tummy tuck and I feel my sutures may have failed to hold in my muscle repair. I have more of a bulge now above my belly button than prior to surgery. I was 124lbs before and 122 lbs now I feel like I am not happy and waster 10k thoughts??
