When I was 8 months along in my pregnancy, I got PUPPP which created very severe stretch marks. I have these stretch marks little over a inch above my belly button, all over my lower tummy, and a little on my hips. I am 22 yrs old, 5'4", 148 lbs, and in the process of losing 38 lbs. I have one child but not planning on having any more. Will it get rid of the stretch marks? I have a C-section scar from geting an ovarian cyst removed when I was 16. Will the incision start from this scar?

CONTACT NOW Answer: Most or all of your stretch-marks will be gone, ideally starting from your c-section scar Great question! Ideally, we are able to stretch most of the skin of the lower body, redrape it over the belly button, and get all of the stretch marks out. However, this depends on how tight the closure is. if the closure is going to be too tight, you don't want to remove more skin as it can lead to wound healing complications. therefore it has to be decided in the operating room. If you make it clear to your surgeon what your preferences are, he or she can work on your behalf. The only way to know or get a better sense if they will all come out is to do a pinch test, where we see how much skin we can take out safely without causing wound complications.

Answer: Will a tummy tuck get rid of pregnancy stretch marks? Hi and thank you for your question. Based on your photo, you appear to be a great candidate for an abdominoplasty. In a tummy tuck the skin between the umbilicus and public area is removed, therefore any stretch marks in that area are removed. If there are any above the level of the umbilicus they will likely remain after surgery. I recommend you consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your concerns further. Best wishes

Answer: Tummy Tuck Thank you for your question & photo. From your photo & information given, I would most likely recommend a tummy tuck w/lipo 360 for best results. This would repair your abdominal muscles and remove excess skin & fat. Liposuction will address the excess fat with some skin retraction. Abdominoplasty will address excess skin & repair of muscle. 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. 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!

Answer: Stretch marks and tummy tuck Hi and thank you for your question. Normally the stretch marks that you have bellow the belly button to the level of the pubis will disappear, the once above the belly button will not, but will come down and you might be able to cover them at least partially with the bikini or underwear.
