You would most likely enjoy having the results of a full tummy tuck with or without liposuctions.

Thank you for your question and the photos. You would most likely enjoy having the results of a full tummy tuck with or without liposuctions. To be sure, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery. I hope this helps.

Yes, You're a Good Candidate for a Full Tummy Tuck

By viewing your photos...I would say you have enough excess skin in need of removal, which would require a standard abdominalplasty (Tummy Tuck), also after having children often times the muscles bcome seperated which would also be repaired in addition to removing excess skin.

Full Abdominoplasty

Based solely on these photos it appears you would be a great candidate for full abdominoplasty. You definitely need to consult with one or more plastic surgeons who are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and who have much experience with abdominal and body-contouring procedures. Best of wishes to you for a smooth recovery and excellent final result.

'Full' tummy tuck is a great surgical procedure

I would say that you would benefit from an abdominoplasty that incorporates skin resection, umbilical rejuvenation and myofascial plication. This is a 'full' abdominoplasty, in my book.

Lateral Tension Abdominoplasty - tummy tuck

You are a very good candidate for an LTA (Lateral Tension Abdominoplasty) which is a specific version of a full tummy tuck. In this type of an abdominoplasty, a very low incision combined with high tension on the waistline reshapes your tummy and body.

Candidate for Tummy Tuck?

Thank you for your question and photos. From the photos, it does look like you may benefit from abdominoplasty surgery. The tummy tuck surgery will remove the excess skin and adipose tissue of the abdomen as well as tightening the abdominal muscles. I would suggest visiting with well experienced, board certified plastic surgeons who can show you lots of examples of their work. Best wishes.

Full tummy tuck?

Judging from the photos you sent, I'd say "go for it". See an ASPS member for an in-person consultation.
