Will a tummy tuck impact pelvic floor and organ prolapse?

If you have your diastasis repaired when you have your tummy tuck, this will tighten the fascia of your abdomen and push your organs inward. If your pelvic floor is loose the organs may push more on your pelvic floor. You could check with your gynecologist about whether that should be repaired first. If your abdominoplasty is only a skin removal, I don’t believe that this would be a factor. Best wishes.

Typically, the tummy tuck will have no effect on your pelvic floor and prolapse since that area is not touched with the tuck. However, in many women who have a heavy hanging pouch of skin, once that has been removed, they have some improvement with their weak floor and prolapse since less pressure is present.

Thank you for your question regarding pelvic floor prolapse and undergoing a tummy tuck. First, I would consult with your urologist and gynecologist. If they feel you can undergo the procedure, I will consult with a plastic surgeon. If your case is mild, I do not anticipate any problem with the tummy tuck. However, if the case is moderate or severe, your case may lean or turn into, or your case may lean into a moderately severe case, the tummy tuck may exert excess pressure on the bladder and the pelvic floor. Again, I would suggest you consult with your urologist and gynecologist first, and if they give the clearance, then I would proceed to obtain the plastic surgery consultations. If not, I would proceed with what your urologist and gynecologist suggest. Perhaps, they need to repair the pelvic wall and the prolapse first and then undergo a tummy tuck. I hope this helps answer your question about what to do with mild prolapse and undergoing a tummy tuck.
