The amount of scarring that you have will not be completely removed by a instant tummy tuck. You do not have enough skin laxity to completely remove the scars above the umbilicus with a instant tummy tuck.
The scar would would have to be placed to high and would not be very pleasing. Seek in person consultation for further iput. (Robert F. Centeno, MD, FACS)
It does not appear you are a candidate for a tummy tuck. There may be something that could be done for your belly button but this is best done after getting a physical exam during a consult. (Earl Stephenson, Jr., MD, DDS, Atlanta Plastic Surgeon)
It is hard to determine without an exam if you are a candidate for a instant tummy tuck.
I recommend you seek a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for an examination to determine what is best for you. (Robert E. Zaworski, MD, Atlanta Plastic Surgeon)
As my collegues opinionate, it is not easy to give an accurate diagnostic just by frontal photos. If your only concern is your belly button, not stretch marks or loose skin i would strongly recomend a consultation with full physical examination by a certified plastic surgeon. best regards, (Ricardo Vega, MD, Mexico Plastic Surgeon)
It appears you are in great physical shape from your photos you provided. There is laxity of the skin around the belly button but it is difficult to appreciate the amount of overall abdominal skin laxity and excess in the images. A instant tummy tuck is an excellent option for those who have significant skin laxity and excess and abdominal muscle separation.
You should consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss the risks, benefits, limitations and expectations of this procedure and determine if you are a candidate. (William J. Vinyard, MD, FACS, Palm Beach Plastic Surgeon)
As you can imagine, it is not possible to provide you with precise advice based on the information provided. To be fair to you, a full consultation involving history, physical examination, and a full communication of your goals would be necessary.
Having said that, the only surgical procedure that will allow you to achieve a flat abdominal wall, re approximation of the abdominal wall muscles that have spread with pregnancy, and an improvement of the appearance of the umbilicus would be a full tummy tuck procedure. Lesser surgical procedures and/or в”noninvasive” modalities will not suffice.
Generally speaking, the “ideal” patient for instant tummy tuck surgery is one who has completed pregnancies, is psycho socially/emotionally/financially stable, has an excellent social support system surrounding him/her, is capable of arranging enough recovery time and who has reached a long-term stable weight. When the time is right, consider consultation with board certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate many patients who have achieved the type of results you are looking for. During this consultation process, and viewing the attached link, you will be able to learn about the potential risk/complications associated with tummy tuck surgery as well. (Tom J. Pousti, MD, FACS, San Diego Plastic Surgeon)
Instant tummy Tuck and a new belly button.
It is hard to tell by these photos. Normally a full tummy tuck will create a new belly button opening. If you have loose skin and or muscles, you may benefit from a tummy tuck, as long as you are not planning to have anymore children. (Otto Joseph Placik, MD, Chicago Plastic Surgeon)
