Would I need a tummy tuck to remove my c-section pooch? Or is there another option? (photos)

Thank you for your question. You would need to be examined in person by a board certified plastic surgeon, but it appears a tummy tuck would help flatten out the excess skin/fat above your C-section scar. Please see an experienced plastic surgeon to talk about your goals.Hope this helps,Dr. German NewallHouston Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Thank you for your question. An
in-person evaluation will be necessary to give you a definitive answer. In the
event that you have minimal skin laxity and/or loose abdominal tissue, a tummy
tuck will likely yield the best result. A tummy tuck procedure will address any
excess skin as well as tighten up the abdominal muscle, giving your stomach a
flatter and more contoured appearance. In cases where a patient has minimal
excess skin and good skin laxity, liposuction may be a more suitable option to
consider. I recommend setting up a consultation with a board certified plastic
surgeon to discuss your options. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question! Based on your images, you would be a great candidate for a tummy tuck. This procedure removes excess skin from the abdomen, as well as tightens the internal muscle wall, giving you a flat stomach. I recommend consulting with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who can assess you in person and create a plan to get you to your goal. Best of luck!
