I'd like to know the probability of an underbust tattoo end up looking odd after a tummy tuck. I'm currently a manequin 52, I want to lose weight and then undergo a tummy tuck getting me to a manequin 44/48.
Answer: Tattoo If you undergo a standard tummy tuck after your weight loss the skin from the level of the belly button to approximately the hip bones is removed. The skin located above the belly button is pulled down to meet the low incision. If you have an under bust tattoo that skin would be stretched downward. I hope this helps.

Answer: Tattoo changes after tummy tuck You have correctly identified the first issue and that is with your internal or visceral fat that would need to be removed prior to having a tummy tuck. Once all of that weight is lost you would be a candidate for liposuction and a tummy tuck. There is stretching on the upper abdominal skin that may distort a tattoo in the upper aspect of your abdomen. How much? That is more difficult to say exactly but I would certainly say that it will be distorted.

Answer: Underbust Tattoo Hello! There should be no issue with an under-breast tattoo and a future tummy tuck. It is true that with weight loss and a tummy tuck, the upper abdominal skin will pulled lower. The positioning of an under-breast tattoo will likely be moved a little lower but this should be OK. Best of luck! Respectfully, Jules A Feledy, Jr, MD American Board of Plastic Surgery, American Society of Plastic Surgery
