So with all my kids I have had c-sections . I work out a lot but bottom fat isn't going anywhere this has been two years straight of hardcore workouts. So my question is if I get Liposuction and a tummy tuck would I be able to get the ripped look again on my stomach? Are you flat due to tge muscles being damage if that's the case with a c-section surgery.
Answer: C-section. Is it true that once your stomach muscles are cut, they are no longer working properly? Thank you for the question. It is very likely that your abdominal wall muscles are functioning normally, despite previous C-section surgery. Based on your description, it sounds like you may be a good candidate for tummy tuck surgery. Generally speaking, the “ideal” patient for tummy tuck surgery is one who has completed pregnancies, is psycho socially/emotionally/financially stable, has an excellent social support system surrounding him/her, is capable of arranging enough recovery time, does not smoke and who has reached a long-term stable weight. It is very likely that you will be able to achieve the "ripped" again after a well executed tummy tuck procedure and ongoing careful attention to diet/exercise afterwards. Best wishes.

Answer: Tummy tuck and muscles A liposuction and tummy tuck can definitely get you to the point where you have a concave midsection and see the lines starting to form around your muscles. To get the truly ripped look, general weight loss will help you acheive this goal after the tummy tuck. Your "6-pack" muscles are not typically harmed during a c-section surgery so you should still be able to achieve that look. Hope this helps!Johsnon C. Lee, MD Plastic Surgery

Answer: C. section and stomach muscle Thank you for the question. There is no doubt that tummy tuck will remove the excess skin and tighten the muscles. The final shape will vary between different individuals and also depends on your expectations. A consultation with plastic surgeon will assist you in getting that question answered.

Answer: Tummy Tuck Thank you for your question. I can not answer whether you will get the "ripped look" again without an in person exam. That being said however a tummy tuck will get rid of excess skin and give you more core abdominal strength by tightening your abdominal muscles that have been stretched out by pregnancies. Best of luck to you

Answer: Tummy Tuck Thank you so much for reaching out. From your post, it does seem that you would be a great candidate for a tummy tuck. A tummy tuck typically includes lipo suction and contouring which should help bring back some of the definition you are desiring. In all honesty, an in person consultation is always best, it allows you to learn about all of the options as well as realistic expectations for your results. Be sure to visit a few Board Certified Surgeons! Best of luck. Dr. Kachenmeister
