Hernia after birthing twins. Do I have any options besides a tummy tuck? (photos)

Have your hernia repaired and see if you are then satisfied. If not, you could consider liposuction to remove excess fat. Once you are 6 to 12 months out from the hernia repair, you could tighten your abdominal wall with noninvasive EMSculpt.

You can elect to have your hernia repaired without any further procedures. This can be performed by a general surgeon. If you are wanting to combine it with aesthetic procedures this can be done as well. From your photos it appears you would be a good candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction for contouring. This would remove excess fat and skin as well as correct abdominal wall laxity. The result would be a flatter, tighter abdomen. The next step is to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

An aesthetically pleasing abdomen is something many of us desire and while proper nutrition, exercise and weight control are very important, sometimes we cannot achieve our goals. Simply getting older and pregnancy also play a role in the appearance of our abdomen. If you desire the most dramatic improvement, then a full tummy tuck can help you achieve your goals. A tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin, and tightens muscles. However, a mini tummy tuck or just liposuction are very good procedures and many patients are happy with only these surgeries.

I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area that is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and performs a lot of tummy tucks and body contouring. Good luck with your future surgery! I hope this helps answer your question. If it does, please take a moment to up vote this answer on the “respond” button on the top right.
