Am I a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck? (photo)

Hi! I'm 25 years old and I've lost around 100 pounds with diet and exercise. I'm 5'4 and around 150 pounds now. My question is this: I'm too fat to get a tummy tuck? I really don't want to have lipo done, I want to lose the remaining weight with diet and exercise. I really want to get a boob job and a tummy tuck. I'll have the next month off from work so this will be the perfect time. What do you think? Thanks a lot.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

From your pictures you are a good candidate for a tummy tuck. You are close to, if not at, your ideal weight. You have excess skin and muscle weakness.
