I am scheduled for tummy tuck. I am wondering if my waist will only lose the extra skin or will it actually have an effect on the size and curve.
The nurse said during interview that I won't have lose skin, and it will be all nice and tight. Well, I was all nice and tight during my pregnanies too. So nice and tight doesn't alway work as desired. Can someone answer that for me?
Answer: Tummy tuck and waist Thank you for your question. It is hard to provided with a valid medical opinion without photos. I would suggest to be treated by board certificated plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results. Kind Regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Answer: A great tummy tuck result is more than tight skin
Your are absolutely right in your analogy. Tight skin and doesn't always make for a great shape. There are numerous factors that go into a good result. Removing excess skin and fat with muscle approximation is only part of the formula for a great outcome. The amount of intrabdominal fat as well as your bone structure and post-operative exercise regimen will also play a major role in your final appearance.

Answer: Tummy Tuck and Waist Line After a tummy tuck you can expect a flatter and tighter abdomen. You may have the same size waist line you may not. It is difficult to predict but to decrease your waistline you may need lipo of the hips/flanks during the tummy tuck.

Answer: Tummy tuck to tighten waist - look at photos Some tummy tuck results show a flatter tummy, but not always a smaller waist. It is a high priority to me personally to create a narrow wasit pst tummy tuck.The permanent sutures that are used to flatten and tighten the abdominal wall are typically placed in the midline. The rectus abdominis muscles, prior to pregnancy, are lined up immediately side-by-side. Expansion of the abdominal wall during pregnancy allows the muscles to stretch apart, leaving a weak layer of fascia (connective tissue) spanning the gap between the two muscles – the medical term for which is diastasis. The midline tightening sutures correct the diastasis and bring the rectus muscles back into a 'side-by-side' configuration, flattening the abdominal wall in the process. Although this midline tightening dramatically enhances the abdominal profile, it often does adequately address the fact that pregnancy can also wreak havoc on the waist, turning what was formerly an 'hourglass' figure into something that is more cylindrical in shape. For several years now I have been using permanent 'internal corset' sutures, placed laterally in the abdominal wall, that draw the waist inward and restore some of the hourglass effect of abdominal concavity at the waistline in frontal view. The addition of these sutures to midline tightening, and in some cases in place of midline tightening, has allowed me to achieve even more impressive postoperative results.

Answer: Tummy tuck and waist
A tummy tuck will tighten the loose skin on your abdomen and will tighten the abdominal musculature to flatten the abdomen.
