Tummy Tuck: Prices, Photos, Reviews, Info, Q&A

Pregnancy stretch marks and tummy tuck

An abdominoplasty will typically remove most stretch marks between your belly button and pubic area.

You should go for a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to understand the procedure and possible results. (Lisa M. DiFrancesco, MD, Atlanta Plastic Surgeon)

Pregnancy stretch marks

All of your stretch marks should be removed if you have enough excess skin.

Typically stretch marks below the belly button are removed with the most standard abdominoplasties. (Earl Stephenson, Jr., MD, DDS, Atlanta Plastic Surgeon)

A full tummy tuck should remove most of the stretch marks below the belly button

The pregnancy stretch marks tummy tuck

A full tummy tuck will remove the skin below your belly button. However based on your photograph you do not seem to have a large amount of loose skin.

Typically more loose skin then you have is required for a full tummy tuck. If you do not have enough excess loose skin to allow the surgeon to move skin at the level of your belly button down to your pubic area, a higher incision may be required which could lead some stretch marks below the incision. Please consult a board certified plastic surgeon for an examination and a thorough discussion of your goals and to learn what is possible. (Brooke R. Seckel, MD, FACS, Boston Plastic Surgeon)

Tummy Tuck Will Remove pregnancy stretch marks

From your photos it appears that you will likely be a candidate for a full tummy tuck and that all of the stretch marks would likely be removed as long as they are below your belly button. (Gaurav Bharti, MD, Johnson City Plastic Surgeon)

Pregnancy stretch marks and Tummy Tucks

A tummy tuck will remove all the stretch marks between your pubic hairline and your belly button. This skin is removed so the stretch marks will be removed as well. Your upper abdominal skin is then stretched in a downward direction to give you flat tight tummy.

Our patients are delighted in the improvement that patients see in their tummy. Recently I had a patient tell me that we had “changed her life.”

Tummy tuck may not change your life but it will make a huge improvement in the appearance of your tummy, making it flat and tight. (Frank Lista, MD, Toronto Plastic Surgeon)

Most of your stretch marks would be removed by a standard tummy tuck. Its difficult to tell how much excess skin you have from the one photo. You need to be examined by a plastic surgeon. Make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck! (Adam Saad, MD, Atlantic City Plastic Surgeon)
