Will my straie cause necrosis in tummy tuck? (Photo)

Dear Strength4444444443,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello and thank you for the question.
Based on your photo, you appear to be a good candidate for a full tummy tuck surgery which would allow to remove the excess skin below the belly button and to tighten the recuts (abs) muscle in order to achieve a flat abdominal contour. This can be done through a low and short incision, all completely below the bikini line. The belly button can be designed to look natural with minimal scarring on the exterior.
Liposuction of upper abdomen and flanks would allow to create a more defined waistline and hourglass shape.
Your pre-existing striae (stretch marks) should not interfere with you surgery or cause tissue necrosis.
I would recommend to obtain an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options and expectations.
I hope this helps.Best, Dr. Karanetz

Your straie will not impact your ability to have a successful tummy tuck. In fact the portion below the tummy tuck will be removed and the remaining marks will be moved lower. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.
