No!There is no connection between the two.The pubic mons (not the vagina) is commonly contoured and lifted, if indicated, during the tummy tuck operation. This does not affect any looseness in the vagina itself.
This is a very interesting question. Normally, the vagina is unaffected by a tummytuck. The mons pubis ( the area above the vagina) is usually pulled back up to where it belongs but that should not cause any noticeable loosening or changes of the vagina itself.I hope this helps. Best wishes in your recovery and congratulations on your surgery.
Thank you for your question. I cannot think of any way in which a standard abdomimoplasty would affect vaginal tightness. If this seems to persist, I suggest you discuss with your GYN. Best Regards.
A tummy tuck would not cause your vagina to be looser or tighter. The tummy tuck does not address these issues either. If you have concerns about your recovery I encourage you to speak with your surgeon.
The vagina is technically not affected by a tummy tuck. However, the tummy tuck can temporarily distort the external labia majora from tension. This distortion may be what you're experiencing. If this is the case, as the tissue relaxes things should settle back to normal.
Thanks for your question. No, the abdominoplasty does not affect the internal anatomy of the vagina. Initially, several of my patients told me that their 'vagina' was significantly tighter after the abdominoplasty procedure, but this was due to the upward pulling of the mons pubis (the pubic area and labia) which gave the altered sensation. Most said that it felt normal again over time.Dr T
Hola jamiwood96!Interesting question the effect is actually the opposite.The superior skin flap from the abdominoplasty causes a pulling effect of the vulva and in a sense makes the vagina slightly tighter. The bigger the flap the tighter.There is no surgical finding at this point that shows the procedure tightens the vagina by a measurable degree but I assure you that it does not create a loose effect.Dr. Diego FrancoColombian Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Thank you for your question. The tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is not considered a medically necessary surgery so it is not covered by medical insurance. A panniculectomy, which the excision of the skin that hangs over the groin area, can often times be covered by medical insurance when c...
It's a great question. If you have concerns, reach out to your surgeon for specific advice. It is common for the tissue on the lower tummy to be firm after a tummy tuck procedure. It can take several months for this area of swelling to improve. However, it's important to make sure that the...
Thanks for your inquiry, honestly it depends on the control of your disease and your symptomology because each person's disease is unique. I have performed tummy tucks on numerous patients with multiple sclerosis without complication. Please get medical clearance from your neu...
If you are referring to your hemoglobin, then 11 should be fine. Normal blood loss for a good surgeon performing an abdominoplasty is just a few cc's (less than an ounce). Make she your are going to an experienced surgeon and all should be great.
Dear Yvonnehendrix86,this type of wound is not uncommon after tummy tuck. It is usually caused by poor blood flow. I would suggest you to consult your plastic surgeon, follow your surgeon's instructions and keep your wound clean and covered. It can take few weeks or months for wound to fully ...
Dear blippi,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, ...
