Will a Tummy tuck give the appearance of a bigger bust size?

Dear Erica,A tummy tuck flattens the abdominal region and does narrow the waist.  This does make the breasts appear larger.  Ideally, a breast augmentation would be done to enhance the breasts even more.  Plastic surgeons will often do the two procedures together.Please seek a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation.  This will best determine if a tummy tuck surgery will fulfill your goals.Aloha,Shim Ching, MD

There is a relative enhancement of breast profile after a tummy tuck, even if the breasts are not changed.  This is due to the smaller waist and flatter abdomen.  Similarly, breast augmentation can make the midsection appear relatively smaller as another illusion.  Imagine, when patients choose to do both together, the magic hourglass shape appears.  Do seek consultation with board certified plastic surgeons to answer all you questions in more detail.

Aloha Erica,While a tummy tuck can certainly enhance your overall proportions, it will have minimal effect on the appearance of your bust size.It would be best for you to visit an experienced board certified plastic
surgeon for an in-depth consultation to review your options.Mahalo, Dr D

While a tummy tuck will not affect your breast size, your breasts may appear larger to you since your abdominal contour will be much flatter. Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question. While a tummy tuck will certainly improve the contours of your abdomen and flanks, it will not impact your breast size whatsoever. However, you my feel your breasts appear larger when your abdomen is flatter. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person examination and to discuss the benefits of tummy tuck surgery. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question.  A tummy tuck can certainly help by giving you a more hourglass appearance.

A tummy tuck will not make your breasts larger or smaller. However when one body area is changed it can impact the appearance/illusion that an adjacent area is different. So yes, theoretically having a smaller, flatter abdomen may give the illusion that the bust is larger.
