Am I a Candidate for a Tummy Tuck? (photo)
I am 23 years old, and lost around 90 pounds 4 years ago. Since then, I have been trying desperately to tone my stomach, but to no avail. I have a very healthy diet, don't smoke, and exercise 6 times a day, focusing on all areas of the body. I am a healthy weight (5.'10"/ 150 lbs) and pretty much remained that weight for four years. My stomach is really getting me down and has prevented me from enjoying myself far too often. Do you think I need a tummy tuck or do i just need to workout more?

Candidate for Tummy Tuck
Without the ability to examine you and measure the extra skin you have, I cannot say precisely. However, you appear to be a perfect candidate for an abdominoplasty. Your weight is optimal and you appear to have significant excess skin rather than fat. If you have enough skin when it is stretched above the umbilicus to reach from the breast bone to the pubis with your back bent slightly, you are the person that a tummy tuck was designed for.

Tummy Tuck Candidate?
Congratulaions on your weight loss! You appear to be an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck. Unfortunately no amount of working out will correct the excess skin in your lower abdomen. Obtain a consult with a BC plastic surgeon with whom you discuss the procedure.

Tummy tuck or work out
Congratulations on the weight loss! I would continue to work out as part of a healthy lifestyle but I do not see that getting rid of the extra skin that you have in these photos. Provided you are otherwise healthy, you look like a great tummy tuck candidate.

Am I a Candidate for a Tummy Tuck
Congratulations on the weight loss. Unfortunately, once your skin has lost its elasticity, it is gone. Exercise will help maintain a healthy weight, but will not tighten skin. From the photo, you are as good a candidate for a tummy tuck as we ever see, and you should expect a nice result.
