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

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a great candidate for tummy tuck. It can be done safely. Your stretch marks will not compromise the circulation or your results. They should be able to be remove entirely. I hope this helps.

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

You could certainly have a tummy tuck. Most of the striae will be removed during surgery. Those that are left won't cause any problems

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.

Your striae are lower and centrally located so the vast majority will be removed (all but two or three of the top will remain, just very low on your abdomen). They do not interfere with blood supply and will not cause necrosis.
Best wishes.

Striae after weight changes or pregnancy are very common. They don't disrupt blood supply or put you at increased risk of skin necrosis. A tummy tuck should be able to remove nearly all your stretch marks since they are on the lower abdomen below the belly button.

Based on your photos and the nature of the tummy tuck procedure, almost all of your stretch marks will be removed in a tummy tuck so there should be no concern. Even in case that a small stretch mark is left, they don't cause any healing problem.
You would likely benefit from a high definition tummy tuck using high definition VASER liposuction. The tummy tuck procedure would comprehensively remove excess skin and fat in the abdominal region. The abdominal muscle would also be 'tightened' to create the appearance of a flatter stomach. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a tummy tuck specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

There should be no correlation to having wound healing complications because you have stretch marks.

I see no reason why you cannot have a tummy tuck if you are fairly certain you are not going to have future pregnancies.

I suggest having a few in person consultations with local board certified plastic surgeons to get an accurate assessment and better understanding of the procedure.

Hi and welcome to our forum!
Stretch marks (striae) indicate the presence of permanently damaged overstretched skin usually occurring during pregnancy or significant weight fluctuation where when pregnant or overweight, the skin's dermal elastic fibers rupture, resulting in the loss of elasticity and the development of streaks on the skin surface. The skin will stretch over a greater surface area and will predispose to sagging. This is a cutaneous phenomenon and will not affect the survival of the skin.
Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation and discussion.
Best wishes...
