Is a change in appearance of vulva after tummy tuck normal?

The pubic area can be affected during tummy tucks... or not... depending on what exactly is done, the degree of tightness, and whether or not a pubic lift is done at the same time.  Often women who have had children request a little assistance in the vulvar area!  But nobody wants an excessively tight vulvar region and alteration of the urethra!  A board certified plastic surgeon with interest in mini type tummy tucks can assist you in what to expect. 

In a tummy tuck the excess abdominal skin is pulled down. Swelling can sometimes make the appearance of the mons change temporarily. If requested the surgeon can address the mons area during a tummy tuck. I encourage to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Usually there is no change to the vulva. Should the surgeon pull the lower skin too much to try to get a super tight abdomen, then the vulva may be pulled upward. Perhaps discuss this with your surgeon during the consult or preop visit.
