Good result from a tummy tuck

Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck can address your concerns. It is exciting to think about the positive aspects of an abdominoplasty in general as it tightens the muscles, that have been loosened form those large babies, it can remove the stretched and damage skin and can enhance your waist.
The trick is getting in the best shape you can and reducing the intraabdominal fat content. When looking for a surgeon be sure they have trained in plastic surgery and are accredited with the ABPS and the ACS as well as the ASPS. (Charles Perry, MD, Sacramento Plastic Surgeon)
You are a great candidate for the surgery, as long as you stay off the cigarettes. After 6 kids then quitting smoking, you deserve congratulations! You’ve been off for plenty of time, just make sure and stay away from second hand smoke. Hopefully you’re off all nicotine products like gum/patches at this point. Discuss the surgery with the two plastic surgeons in your area.

You can have great Tummy Tuck results
Yes, I feel you could have a great result from a “tummy tuck” = abdominoplasty. If you are in good health, do not smoke, etc, you should expect a flattening of the upper and lower abdomen and removal of the extra skin.

Usually, it is the fascia overlying the muscle that is tightened vs actually cutting or repairing of the muscle which helps make the abdomen flatter. Make sure that you follow the post operative instructions and give your self time to heal. (Michael Kulick, MD, San Francisco Plastic Surgeon)

Abdominoplasty result
Looking at your picture, you appear to be an excellent candidate for an abdominoplasty. Especially since you have quit smoking. Not only will you be able to get rid of a lot of your stretch marks, your skin will be tighter and your tummy muscles flatter. It is a reasonably large surgery so be prepared to hurt for a while afterward and have someone available to help with all those babies. (Scott Tucker, MD, Winston Salem Plastic Surgeon) You look to be an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck. You have excess skin on your abdomen, but otherwise appear to be in good shape. As long as you are a good surgical candidate from a medical perspective, you should have a great result from an abdominoplasty. (David Shafer, MD, New York Plastic Surgeon)
You are at a good weight and have all the physical characteristics of patients who end up with excellent results after abdominoplasty. As long as you don’t have diabetes or other major health problems (smoking, hear disease), you should have an excellent tummy tuck result. (Francisco Canales, MD, Santa Rosa Plastic Surgeon)
From the looks of your image it seems you have enough to fix to make a tummy tuck a good idea. The skill of your surgeon and your capacity to heal will also come into play. If you are a big smoker, this could throw a “monkey wrench” into the equation. (John P. Di Saia, MD, Orange Plastic Surgeon)
