Will a Full Tummy Tuck Ruin Upper Abs Definition in a Male?

April 10, 2010
Asked By:7996anon in Florida

I am getting a tummy tuck the Dr. said that given that my sagginess is below the belly button and since I have well defined abs above the belly button (10% bf) if I get total (full) tummy tuck since they detach the skin from the underlying muscle the definition in my upper abs will b gone 4 ever. True or not? He said I am better off with a mini and no suturing of the muscles because they r defined and I don't have any Rectus Abdominus Diastasis. I am 33 y/o male. Thank u in advanced 4 ur response.
