Will a mini tummy tuck tighten the abdominal wall enough to prevent future bloating and abdominal distention?

Thank you for sharing your question. Unfortunately I do not think a full or mini tummy tuck will prevent future bloating or abdominal distension as this is an intestinal issue, not a muscular wall or skin issue. Hope this helps.

A mini tummy tuck will address abdominal wall laxity below the belly button. The upper abdomen can look distended by comparison. I encourage you to visit with a gastroenterologist to discuss your bloating concerns. A tummy tuck will not correct them, and may make you feel uncomfortable after eating if the abdominal muscles are tightened.

You probably have food allergies which will make you to swell if you eat the wrong foods. A tummy tuck will not prevent this since the swelling is from your colon. I would suggest being checked for food allergies.
