Answer: Smaller waist Yes, repairing abdominal muscles via a tummy tuck combined with liposuction for contouring should help better define your waist. I don't think it will get you to your wish pic, but I do think better definition of your curves is possible. Be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Answer: Will a Tummy Tuck and Muscle Repair Make My Waist Smaller? Hello fixmern in Marvell, AR. Thank you for your question regarding whether a tummy tuck and muscle repair will make your waist smaller. By looking at your photos, a tummy tuck with muscle repair could indeed help you. Muscle repair typically brings in your waist by 2-4 inches, which will help refine your waist and give you more curves. Even if your abdominal muscles feel tight, muscle plication can still benefit you by providing additional contouring. I recommend asking your plastic surgeon if you have more fat on your flanks or love handles that can be addressed by liposuction. This will give you even more contour and enhance the overall results of your tummy tuck. Combining these procedures can help achieve a more refined waistline and the curves you desire. Good luck with your upcoming surgery. I hope this helps answer your question regarding the potential benefits of a tummy tuck and muscle repair. Sincerely, J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FASMBS, FICS

Answer: Tightening the waist with tummy tuck and muscle repair If your rectus (ab) muscles are spread wide, a repair will help to tighten the waist. Properly executed flank and waist liposuction and properly placed fat during BBL will also help to refine the appearance of your waist and give you curves. I like to shape the hips with strategically placed fat transfer to enhance the waist shape. Be sure to communicate your wishes with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can review a comprehensive surgical plan in detail.

Answer: Will a tummy tuck and muscle repair make my waist smaller? Hello and thank you for posting. Yes it will. Muscle repair not only flattens your tummy but it tapers your waist as well, just like a corset. Extra lipo plus bbl ti hips will also help improve your waist to hip ratio. Best of luck, Dr. Miguel Mota

Answer: Tummy tuck with mesh reinforcement At the time of tummy tuck, the skin and fat are resected and the lining of the muscle, called fascia, is repaired, not the muscle itself. The fascia is pulled together in the midline to give a more hourglass figure. If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
