Abdominoplasty surgery will give you the flat belly you so desire, and the scar should be easily concealable in a two piece bathing suit, unless it’s really small.
You should also consider the possibility of liposuction at the same time, it will help you regain a smoother, slimmer waistline with the added effect of getting rid of the fat rolls in your back.
It mainly depends on what you want, but maybe a little fat transfer to your buttocks will also help you achieve a bit of projection and volume from your buttocks. (Jose A. Leon, MD, Dominican Republic Plastic Surgeon)
I really want my belly to look flat and tone. Will a abdominoplasty surgery work for me? (photos)
Looking at the attached pictures; you have a skin overhang in your lower abdomen along with moderate diastasis. You will be a good candidate for a full tummy tuck with liposuction to your hips and flanks (~ 2-3 hours).
Better be done with childbirth prior having the abdominoplasty surgery. Some patients may get pregnant after a tummy tuck, but then, they may have to consider having another surgery. (Maan Kattash, MD, FRCS, Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon)
Based on your photos, you are an excellent candidate for an abdominoplasty surgery (tummy tuck). Abdominoplasty surgery would allow not only removal of extra fat and skin, but tightening of the abdominal wall that has been likely stretched with pregnancies. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for an exam, and to discuss your concerns and expectations. (Robert E. Zaworski, MD, Atlanta Plastic Surgeon)
Just based on your pictures tummy tuck would improve your abdominal appearance greatly. You have a significant amount of excess skin. It is also likely your muscles were separated by the pregnancy. Make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to be examined and see what is possible. (Adam Saad, MD, Atlantic City Plastic Surgeon)
Looking at your photos, I agree that an abdominoplasty surgery would allow not only removal of extra fat and skin, but tightening of the abdominal wall that has been likely stretched with pregnancies.
Abdominoplasty surgery has one of the highest patient satisfaction ratings for good reason- properly performed it has the potential to change women’s life and lifestyle.(Robert Steely, MD, Houston Plastic Surgeon)
Abdominoplasty surgery will benefit you
I definetly think that a abdominoplasty surgery can help improve the appearance of your abdomen and allow you to wear shorter tops and other clothes that you desire. I would recommend that you get as close to your ideal body weght as possible and consider holding off unless you are sure that you are not planning anymore children. I would recommend a standard abdominoplasty with muscle tightening and some flank liposuction. Your scar may need to be continued far out onto your sides depending on your skin laxity (looseness). Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon and make sure you have all of your questions answered. (Matthew H. Steele, MD, Fort Worth Plastic Surgeon)
Extended abdominoplasty surgery
An extended tummy tuck could create a flat and more shapely tummy. Removal of excess skin, tightening of the abdominal wall, and contouring of the waist can be achieved with a full or extended abdominoplasty surgery. The before and after photo link below shows one of my patients that underwent an extended abdominoplasty surgery. (Remus Repta, MD, Scottsdale Plastic Surgeon)
