Of course this is not the answer you want to hear, but it's not much different from some of the other consultants. I would not consider either liposuction or tummy tuck at your current body weight. It's not that it can't be done, it is just a waste of your funds and a wast of the surgery since the changes you want to see can't be possible at your current BMI. Your question is not uncommon, but it is our job to keep our patients safe and give them value for their money. You get neither at your current status.
I'm thirty years old with four kids. I'm schedule to get a mommy makeover March 26 and I'm scared!!! Can my tattoo be completely removed and do I need to lose weight?
You can almost certainly get rid of that part of the tattoo below the belly button and maybe the rest, but like others have advised, it is better to keep the scar low. Even if not all of the tattoo is removed, the skin will loosen a bet with time and maybe the rest could be taken out later. Your pictures would indicate you are at a good weight.
My plastic surgeon does not place his patients in any type of compression garment after performing a tummy tuck on them. He says there is no scientific facts to support that these items help or aid in better results or healing. But believes they cause unneccessary pain and discomfort and actually increase swelling in the lower limbs and restrict blood flow. Is this safe or ok to do and will this have a negative effect on my results?
Preferences vary among surgeons regarding the use of a compression garment after tummy tuck surgery. Primarily it has been used to help prevent seromas postoperatively. The use of internal progressive advancement sutures during the wound closure have pretty much done away with seromas, so he probably uses that technique and finds the use of a garment unnecessary.
