I workout daily (weightlifting, crossfit, endurance etc) and focus heavily on my nutrition. I had a TT about 10 years ago, had a child 3 years ago and lost more weight. I would like a revision done but don't feel I need muscle repair. I have laxity in my skin, i never liked my belly button and would like that revised and also a reduction of the mons pubis area. What are your thoughts?
Answer: Tummy Tuck Without Muscle Repair or Muscle Plication Thank you for your question regarding whether a tummy tuck can be done without muscle repair. The answer is yes. A tummy tuck can be done without muscle repair. Most tummy tucks are performed with muscle repair. If a patient has strong abdominal core muscles, it is possible to have a tummy tuck without muscle repair. Since you lost weight and have skin laxity, I recommend a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty revision. Your belly button can be revised and the mons can be reduced during this procedure. Please seek a board-certified plastic surgeon who has performed hundreds of tummy tucks and tummy tuck revisions. I hope this answer helps. Good luck.

Answer: Tummy Tuck & Liposuction Thank you for your questions and photos. A tummy tuck will address excess skin & repair of the abdominal muscle. The abdominal wall can be weakened after pregnancy and (or) significant weight gain & loss. By repairing the muscle, not only does the appearance of your abdominal area improve, but your core strength as well. The repair of the muscle will cinch your waist like an inner corset, which will accentuate your curves. Liposuction will remove excess fat from unwanted areas with some skin retraction. Your expectations and health will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals. Best of luck!

Answer: TT without muscle fascia repair? The benefit of the muscle repair will vary depending on individual anatomy. The repair will generally be recommended when there is a separation of your muscles. After discussing the anticipated benefits of the muscle repair with your surgeon, the choice to proceed is up to you.

Answer: Muscle repair It’s difficult to say based on your photos. If you don’t have any muscle separation, then a repair wouldn’t be necessary. Your surgeon would be able to let you know during your consultation. Belly button reshaping and skin removal could be performed during your revision.
