Do I require muscle repair? (photos)

Thank you for your inquiry, it would be best to lower bmi first, it is important to reduce stomach fat first. Muscle repair is usually preformed with tummy tuck in order to obtain a good result, I recommend seeking board certified plastic surgeons to further discuss details. Best of luck

Dear VictoriaValencia1,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello and thank you for your question.
Based on your photos, you appear to be a great candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction. This can be done through a low and short incision, all completely below the bikini line. The belly button can be designed to look natural and have no scars on the exterior.
During tummy tuck, your muscles are plicated resulting in a flatter abdominal profile.
I would recommend to obtain an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options and expectations. 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.
I hope this helps.Best, Dr. Karanetz
