I'm a 5'8", 125lbs woman and a mother of two. My body type is slender, and I've begun working out to tone up for the summer. I maintain a healthy diet, among other things. While I'm content with my overall body, I'm not pleased with the appearance of my stomach, specifically the belly button. I previously consulted with a plastic surgeon who suggested that I was too lean for a tummy tuck (I noticed similar posts). What other options are available to me?
Thanks for your question. In our practice, we believe individuals who've undergone weight loss or childbirth are good candidates for a tummy tuck. While there may not be a significant amount of loose skin, muscle repair is often needed post-pregnancy, and a tummy tuck can address any extra skin around your belly button. Don't hesitate to reach out to us for more details about your concerns.
Based on my experience, individuals with significant excess skin around the belly button would greatly benefit from an abdominoplasty. Currently, there are no treatment methods that can effectively tighten the skin. A tummy tuck is not intended for overweight individuals, but rather for those with excess skin, which appears to be the case for you.
