Would a tummy tuck help support posture for someone who has a hunched back and back pain?

Thank you for your question! The abdominal wall can be weakened after pregnancy and (or) significant weight gain & loss. By repairing the muscle, not only does the appearance of your abdominal area improve, but your core strength as well. The repair of the muscle will cinch your waist like an inner corset, which will accentuate your curves. Your expectations and health will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals. Best of luck!

Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your height and weight. However, I often see improved posture and pain relief with a breast lift. You may benefit from a breast reduction but without additional information I cannot give you an accurate answer.
