I've seen a lot of people on various forums post a photo of themselves doing a plank, with the camera positioned underneath them. I think it's meant to show the degree of separation and loose skin, and suitability for a tummy tuck (which I am considering). Here is mine; not sure what to make of it. Does it indicate muscle separation and tummy tuck suitability?

Answer: Full tummy tuck Although it’s difficult to see the muscle separation, it does appear you have loose skin and excess fat that can both be effectively addressed with a full tummy tuck. It may be easier for your surgeon to measure muscle separation with an in-person assessment.

Answer: Loose skin and separation - am I a candidate for tummy tuck? (photo) Nothing replaces an in-person examination, but I think you would most benefit from a full tummy tuck and liposuction of your waist and flanks. The tummy tuck will tighten your stomach muscles, helping to achieve a flatter appearance, while removing excess skin and adipose tissue. Liposuction can be used to enhance your tummy tuck results by narrowing your waist and removing isolated areas of diet and exercise resistant fat. I would favor the full approach because it appears that your skin and muscle laxity is present above and below your belly button. Hope that this helps
