Will tummy tuck help my stomach? I'm 5ft weigh 145. Had colon resection in 2007 (Photo)

Based on your photos, in my opinion, you are an excellent candidate for TT-- muscle tightening--- and flank liposuction. Tummy Tuck will remove the "hanging down" portion of your abdominal wall. The muscle tightening will assist and help to flatten the abdominal wall--- but may not completely flatten it in a vertical fashion.  you may ned additional muscle exercises to further flatten the stomach.  Flank Liposuction will assist in giving you an additional curve and improve your waist line appearance. In addition, you belly button will improve in appearance and the colon scar from the belly button down will be removed. You will though have the lower curved incision for the Tummy Tuck.

Thank you for your pictures.  I believe that a full tummy tuck can help you improve your appearance.  Liposuction may or may not be necessary.  The midline scar will be shortened and below your belly button.Earl Stephenson, Jr, MD, DDS, FACS

Yes is the answer to all of your questions. You should expect the abdominoplasty to flatten your abdomen, and get rid of the loose hanging skin at the bottom. Liposuction can be done at the same time if needed.Additionally, it will remove most of your vertical scar.Greg Sexton, M.D.Columbia, S.C.

You are an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck. You can have liposuction of the upper abdomen as well. It is important to make sure you don't have a small hernia prior to surgery. Good luck!
