Will a TT help with incontinence?
Answer: Does a TT help with urinary incontinence? In 2018 a study in Australia followed 214 women who underwent TT with abdominal muscle repair. Prior to surgery, a little less than 50% of the women reported issues with urinary incontinence. Six weeks and six months after the TT was performed, less than 2% of the patients in the study noted issues with urinary incontinence. Abdominoplasty to improve body contour also may alleviate symptoms of stress urinary incontinence, especially among patients who have not undergone previous cesarean section.

Answer: Urinary incontinence The tummy tuck is not designed to address urinary incontinence. However there are many great non surgical treatments such as ThermiVa that can help with urinary issues.

Answer: TT and urinary incontinence A tummy tuck is not aimed at correcting urinary incontinence. The goal is to remove the excess skin and fat of the lower abdomen and repair the abdominal wall muscles. Having said that many of my patient report improvements in their urinary incontinence but that is not the goal or guarantee of the surgery.

Answer: Urinary incontinence and TT You must treat urinary incontinence before because after a TT but mainly after a muscle repair your condition may become worse, Because of the increased intraabdominal pressure.
