Question

Would I have to have a tummytuck or are there alternate solutions? Thanks! Maja

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

A short scar tummy tuck will remove 
loose skin and tighten the muscles to produce a nice, flat, tight 
abdomen.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of tummy 
tucks and body contouring procedures each year.  Then look at the 
plastic surgeon's 
 website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can  
deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

A tummy tuck will help you.  Please get a consult!Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
and member of the Aesthetic Society using the Smart Beauty Guide.  These Plastic Surgeons can guide you on all
aspects of facial surgery, breast augmentation and body procedures including
tummy tucks or mommy makeovers!

A tummy tuck can be done as a solitary procedure.  Many times the results are enhanced by adding
liposuction to the hip and love handle area. 
A tummy tuck is also done in combination with a breast augmentation in a
mommy makeover.

Thank you for your question and photograph.  Congratulations on losing your pregnancy weight and looking so fit.  The loose skin that you see is quite common after pregnancy especially in patients who lose weight and regained fitness.  A tummy tuck performed by a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in tummy tuck surgery and has an excellent reputation in your community should be able to provide you with a tighter tummy and improved appearance.  Choose your plastic surgeon wisely. Please read the link below.

You will indeed need a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).  There are no other good options.  But you are an excellent candidate if I can judge from the photo as you are of normal weight.  You should have an excellent result.  Good luck.
