Will a Tummy Tuck Leave Me with a Flat Stomach?

Typically a tummy tuck includes liposuction of the upper abdomen and sides, removal of the lower skin fold as well as tightening of the abdominal muscles.

These should result in a flatter stomach.

However a tummy tuck does not get rid of the fat inside your belly (which is under the muscles and around your internal organs). The only way to reduce that fat is by diet and exercise.

From the photos you seem like a great candidate for a tummy tuck.

Good luck!

Based on your photos, I feel you would have a reasonably flat abdomen after a tummy tuck.  Your result would be even flatter if you went into the surgery at a lower body weight.  The muscle tightening portion of the surgery (called plication) will tighten your abdominal muscles and place them back into the correct position. The more weight you lose however, the flatter your abdomen will be after surgery.

Best wishes,
