I am 5'4 and weigh 120lbs. I live in Orange County, CA. I work out 1.5/hrs. 5 days a week. I have had 3 pregnancies but have muscle separation and a little loose skin. Most surgeons website highlights their work on heavier set or people who are not relatively fit Or mini Tummy tucks. Can anyone recommend a plastic surgeon who has experience doing full TT and pictures of tummy tucks performed on skinnier more for a fit mom? Thanks!

Answer: Can Fit Women have a Tummy Tuck too??
A Tummy Tuck for a "fit women" can most often achieve better results than the same procedure performed on a patient who needs to lose weight. However, performing the abdominoplasty procedure on a lean patient does have specific considerations associated with it: namely, will there be enough skin to remove and leave the incision line low across the waist?
Some thin patients don't need much skin removed and that may be you. It sounds like you may benefit from the muscle tightening (called diastasis repair) alone through a lower abdominal incision and only minimal skin removal. Consult your board certified cosmetic surgeon to see if you would be a good candidate for this.

Answer: Skinny girl tummy tucks
Skinny girls can get amazing results after tummy tucks. it mostly just depends on how much loose skin and how much muscle waekness there is to be fixed. But the surgeon won't have to worry about "re-sahping" something that's not there already. You should get a great result. Just keep looking for the right surgeon in your area. Good luck.
