Abdominoplasty candidate?

I agree with Dr. Pousti. An exam is required to determine your goals, your anatomy and the scars from the gall bladder and appendectomy. If you are finished child-bearing and near your goal weight you are likely a good candidate, but seek a reputable plastic surgeon in your area to discuss.

Tummy Tuck Candidate?

Thank you for the question. It is not possible to give you good advice without direct examination and/or viewing pictures. The ideal candidate for tummy tuck surgery is a healthy woman who has completed pregnancies and who has achieved a long-term stable weight. You would be best served by in person consultation with well experienced board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes.
