Can a tummy tuck with muscle tightening help with spondiolisthesis?

The tummy tuck is a great operation. It tightens the abdominal wall muscles and removes excess skin and fat from the lower abdominal wall. It repairs the damage done to the abdominal wall after pregnancy and weight loss. The tummy tuck is not used to treat spondylolisthesis.Spondylolisthesis is a mechanical problem with the spine. While theoretically, moving the abdominal weight back toward the spine can reduce the torque on the back, it is not a recognized or recommended treatment, and would not be expected to help the underlying back problem.

Dear mtrivas21,a tummy tuck probably won't affect your symptoms caused by spondilolysthesis. Regarding your health insurance, I would recommend you to check with them if they will cover your surgery. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
