When do you need a tummy tuck
Unfortunately, there is no other procedure than a tummy tuck operation that will come close to helping you achieve your goals. Keep in mind, that even with tummy tuck surgery, that some “wrinkled” skin will remain; the resulting appearance of your abdomen, will be an improvement (but not perfect).
The “ideal” patient for 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, does not smoke and who has reached a long-term stable weight.
Please do not waste your time / resources on other heavily marketed modalities. (Tom J. Pousti, MD, FACS, San Diego Plastic Surgeon)
When do you need a tummy tuck image
You need a traditional abdominoplasty, as no other procedure will address the amount of loose skin on your abdomen. If a tummy tuck is “out of the question” as you describe, you’ll need to learn accept your abdomen as it is. Don’t waste your money on other “shortcut” procedures. You will be disappointed. I recommend that you schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to fully understand the procedure and make a better informed decision.

Tummy tuck after pregnancy
Looking at your photos you clearly are in great shape after pregnancy and you should congratulate yourself for that. Unfortunately, only a tummy tuck will give you a great improvement. You say a tummy tuck is not an option. Is that because of cost or recovery time? Sometimes I will perform a tummy tuck without tightening the muscle as long as they have minimal rectus diastasis and they cannot stand to be away from work for more than a few days. That may be something to consider if recovery is the issue. (Josh Olson, MD, Gilbert Plastic Surgeon)

When do you need a tummy tuck surgery
You are a perfect candidate for abdominoplasty ( Tummy Tuck ) – without a full Tummy tuck you will not have a good result. Now that your child bearing activities are completed – it’s time restore the body you once had. Muscles can be tightened as well during the procedure.
All of this loose skin can be removed in its entirety and the stretch marks above the belly button will be smoothened out. You should have a very satisfying tummy tuck result – in the right hands. (Thomas Trevisani, Sr., MD, Orlando Plastic Surgeon)
Tummy Tuck to Correct Wrinkled Skin After Pregnancy
I am afraid you will not like my answer. The only way to remove the excess wrinkled skin is with a tummy tuck. You are not a candidate for a mini tummy tuck because you have excess skin above your naval.
The correction of the separated abdominal muscles that are a result of your pregnancies cannot be addressed if you are “awake” as in the Avelar technique you are seemingly open to. To reach your goal of tightened skin and a flat tummy you will have to reconsider your stance on abdominoplasty. Best wishes. (Mary Lee Peters, MD, Seattle Plastic Surgeon)
