I am 23 and have two sons. I want to feel confident in my own skin and would love to be able to wear a 2 piece bathing suit once again. I have stretch marks and some loose skin by the bellybutton. I am 5'6" and weigh 125 pounds. Since I am fairly thin, will the healing process be easier than that of an individual that is overweight? When would I be able to get in a pool? I don't plan on more kids, but unplanned pregnancies are common, would a pregnancy down the road ruin the tummy tuck?
Answer: Tummy tuck to fix your stomach It is difficult to see on the photos, but it looks like you do have some excess skin above your belly button and some separation of your abdominal muscles. Both of these issues would be helped by a tummy tuck (or abdominoplasty). It would be best to make sure your family is complete before surgery. Always make sure to schedule an appt with a board certified plastic surgeon. My best to you!

Answer: A Tummy Tuck Would Probably Be Beneficial Judging by your photos, you would probably benefit from a full tummy tuck. It would remove the excess skin and fat, as well as tighten any weakened muscles you may have from pregnancy.It is true that being "fairly thin" can help improve your rate of recovery as well as reduce any surgical risks, it is more important that you are generally healthy. You will have to avoid swimming pools or whirlpools for at least 1 month to allow your incisions to heal properly.Pregnancy after your tummy tuck will negatively affect results.

Answer: Tummy tuck You would need a full tummy tuck and a muscle tightening procedure. Your muscle have clearly been stretched out causing a bdominal bulging. I think you would get a nice result, but there will be a long scar involved. The scar can be designed to be covered in a bathing suit with the exception of a scar around you belly button.

Answer: Bikini after tummy tuck Congratulations, your photographs are excellent! A tummy tuck would eliminate laxity, flatten the contour and remove some of the stretch marks. Since some stretch marks extend above the belly button and since a low scar is preferable for bikini-wearing, a compromise will have to be made with regard to excising all the stretch marks.However the few remaining stretch marks will be positioned just above the final scar and should be covered by a bikini bottom. It may even be possible to remove these too - a year later - when things have loosened up. The effect of pregnancy on a previous tummy tuck is highly variable, but it is probable that any small deterioration in aesthetic appearance may be fixed by the Board Certified Plastic Surgeon I assume you would consult.

Answer: Will full tummy tuck "fix" my stomach? Getting rid of the loose skin and stretch marks. I think that a tummy tuck will tighten your abdominal wall and remove loose skin for a very pleasing result. The scar can be short as you have only central skin laxity. Pregnancy may undo some of the tummy tuck result in the future. Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of tummy
