How much skin is my surgeon going to be able to cut? Am I going to have new stretch marks?

It appears you are a good candidate for a tummy tuck. A lot of your stretch marks will be removed but not those above the belly button but those will moved much lower.  Also, it looks like your underlying abdominal muscle need tightening and this will go a long way to making your new tummy very flat! I'm excited for you.  Tummy tucks are big operations but they can produce dramatic results and fix post- pregnancy issues that you really have no control over. I hope this information helps! Thomas Taylor, MD, FACSPasadena, CA

The lower stretch marks will be removed with a tummy tuck and
the upper ones brought to a lower position where they will be less obvious.
While there are many nonsurgical procedures that are claimed to get rid of
stretch marks, most ethical knowledgeable plastic surgeons will tell you that
they have limited if any benefit, are unreliable, and not a satisfactory option
in your particular situation.The surgery does not generally produce new stretch marks..

Keep in mind that
following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to
tell you what to do based on two dimensional photos without examining you,
physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full
medical history and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure
would not be in your best interest. I would suggest that you find a surgeon
certified by the American Board of American Plastic Surgery and one who is
ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS)
that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with
that surgeon in person.
