Will a tummy tuck put my organs back in place?

Dear vane37,
tummy tuck will remove excess skin from your abdomen and tighten abdominal muscles but it will not put your organs back in place. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello and thank you for your question regarding whether a tummy tuck will put your organs back in place.

Thank you for your history. From what you describe, it sounds like you have a significant case of rectus diastasis, which is the separation of the abdominal muscles. This condition can cause the abdominal contents to push forward, creating a bulging appearance.

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, can indeed help address this issue. During the procedure, the plastic surgeon will repair the rectus diastasis by suturing the separated muscles back together. This creates a tighter abdominal wall, which can help hold your internal organs in their proper position and reduce the bulging appearance.

While a tummy tuck will not physically move your organs, the repair of the abdominal muscles will provide better support, making the abdominal area appear flatter and more toned. It is important to have a detailed consultation with a Board Certified plastic surgeon to discuss your specific condition and the expected outcomes.

Good luck. I hope this helps answer your question regarding the effects of a tummy tuck on your abdominal organs.

Sincerely,

J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FASMBS, FICS

It sounds like you have a phenomenon called rectus diastasis. The six pack muscles are stretched apart, and need to be brought back together. This can be performed during tummy tuck, and the result is a flat stomach without organs bulging out.
