Can I Improve my loose skin without surgery or would it have to be a tummy tuck procedure? (Photos)

Hello @daisystew21, thank you for your question. The only way to remove the loose skin and repair the abdominal wall is through a tummy tuck. There is no diet, no excersize and not garment compression that can repair the abdominal wall. As part of your surgical plan, you may want to consider a modified abdominoplasty where you can achieve a complete muscular application with a smaller scar, eliminating the diastasis entirely. For more information and recommendations, it is prudent to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Based on your pictures, you would benefit greatly from a tummy tuck procedure. Do your research and choose a board certified plastic surgeon.

Dear daisystew21Thanks for your question and sharing your photographs. Looking at your photographs, I think you would be a great candidate for a tummy tuck surgery. This operation will address the excess skin and more important than that the muscle weakness that one gets after 2 pregnancies. The muscle weakness is the main cause of bulging below belly button as this is the area the is maximally stretched during pregnancy. As long as you have completed your family and not planning to have more babies, I recommend a tummy tuck. You are at a relatively young age and this means you would get a great body which you can enjoy while you are still very young. I hope you find this explanation helpful.

Hello, yes you need tummy tuck to improve you abdomen, also you need the muscle repair, and lipo to the sides, but you have extra skin that you need to remove

HelloIt’s very difficult to assess the skin laxity with the photos. I advise you to meet a plastic surgeon and discuss the options after examination. Tummy muscles diastasis is another factor that needs to be assessed. VASER liposuction is another treatment that has some skin tightening effect.
