I am 5”4 and 9 stone. I have a pregnant looking belly. I have had three kids but never had a washboard tummy previously, however 4 years ago I was a stone lighter and my tummy didn’t bother me as much as it does now. Iv always had a wrinkly loose tummy after kids but I look pregnant and I bloat a lot. I have a TT booked in 2 weeks, my surgeon says no lipo and I should get a flat tummy. But I can’t see this would be possible. My top muscles are tight, but a small gap under belly button.
Answer: Have I got internal fat? Would I get a flat tummy from a tummy tuck? (photos) Healthy people at their ideal weight should have the best overall recovery from a TT, but some of this will depend upon the surgical technique and adherence to postoperative protocols. A TT addresses both the loose skin and the lax abdominal wall as to give a nice, flat youthful contour to the abdomen. The TT also creates a more youthful belly button. If the waist was smaller at one time, the waist can likely be reduced to those same measurements or smaller provided the muscular and fascial integrity has remained the same.

Answer: Tummy tuck From your photos you should have a nice result from a tummy tuck. It will remove much of your loose tummy skin and fat as well as address the abdominal wall laxity. Liposuction would add to the contouring of the hips and flanks.

Answer: Abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement You have a pregnant look from a damaged abdominal wall from three pregnancies. The pregnancies stretched out the support layer (fascia), which has been irreversibly damaged. The technique I recommend is abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement, if you are not planning future pregnancies. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight.

Answer: Protruding look Your BMI is pretty good 21.5 and that only reassures me that you have no intrabdominal fat, your muscle is extremely loose and weak and for that reason you look very protruding like pregnant.

Answer: Have I got internal fat? Would I get a flat tummy from a tummy tuck Thank you for sharing your quest and photographs. Although you have some mild visceral fat it appears that the majority of your tissue excess comes from skin and more superficial fat ,as well as muscle laxity. Both of these issues can be addressed with a tummy tuck. Hope this helps.
