I have hyperlordsis and I was wondering could the muscle repair will tummy tuck help correct this?
Answer: Would a tummy tuck with muscle repair help improve posture and lumber lordosis? Thank you for the question. As you know, part of the tummy tuck operation involves plication (re approximation) of the abdominal wall muscles that have spread with pregnancy. This reconstruction likely strengthens the core and MAY help with issues such as lower back discomfort (assuming there are no other anatomic causes of the lower back pain). I would caution you however NOT to assume that any lower back pain or postural concerns will be resolved after tummy tuck surgery. Best wishes.

Answer: Can a tummy tuck with muscle repair help lordosis? In general abdominal muscle strength can help with spine issues. Therefore repairing the abdominal rectal diastasis can help abdominal strength and help with back support. I am not aware of any studies showing a specific effect on lordosis.

Answer: Tummy tuck Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. There are no large series studies looking into this. In theory, muscle repair can help with lordosis, but it really depends on your individual anatomy. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Improvement in posture after a tummy tuck in Melbourne, FL. Thank you for your question regarding possible improvement in posture after a tummy tuck. I advise my Melbourne, Florida, tummy tuck patients that the abdominoplasty or tummy tuck can be expected to improve the appearance of the abdomen. Some people do note that they have improvement in posture; however, this is not the distinct purpose of the operation and therefore, cannot be promised or guaranteed. Definitely discuss with your board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this information is helpful to you. Best of luck!
