Am I a Candidate for Extended Tummy Tuck Now? (photo)

I am 45, 5'8, 205 pounds and have two children. I lost 85 pounds over the last year. I've been working out 5x a week, walk 8-10 miles, yoga 1x week, swim aerobics 1x a week & weight training 2x week. I have been stuck at this weight for about 5 months, eating a balanced diet and tracking every calorie. Based on my photos, would I be a good candidate for a extended tummy tuck with lipo? My goal weight is 185-190. Do I have more internal or external fat??

Tummy tuck

I believe you are an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck. You clearly have a large amount of loose skin on your abdomen which is probably causing your poor posture and could lead to back problems. Since you are stuck at your current weight, I would go ahead and perform a tummy tuck on you at this point, realizing that it probably will not give you a completely flat abdomen. However, it would be a tremendous improvement and might give you the incentive to lose more weight... more

Extended Tummy Tuck

Yes you are a candidate now for the extended tummy tuck ($6930) if you are otherwise healthy. The last patient I removed a panniculus as big as yours, woke up after surgery, looked down and got a tear in her eye, she was so happy! It will supercharge your motivation to get the last 20 lbs off just to have that apron gone. Dr Foster
