Will my fitness improve with a tummy tuck? Am I too skinny for my results to look natural? (photos)

Hello and thank you for your question and photos. While it is difficult to make a full assessment from photos alone, it does appear your skin laxity is focalized to the area around your navel. In this case, a short-scar tummy tuck will likely be sufficient for removing the redundant skin and firming the center of the abdomen. During that procedure, the belly button can also be addressed to create a more attractive shape and appearance. I recommend you seek a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in body contouring techniques to determine the best treatment option for you. Good luck!

The diastasis recti can be corrected with a standard tummy tuck. The hernia can be corrected at the same time. An examination is needed to determine if you are a good candidate and what you can expect in terms of results. A tummy tuck isn't designed to improve core strength, but there are many side benefits that patients report after a tummy tuck. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

In the side view, your abdomen protrudes anteriorly, which results from a weakness of the fascia.  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.  This will resolve your umbilical hernia as well as your diastatis recti.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
