Will a tummy tuck remove fat and help improve the upper abdomen? If not, does a tummy tuck with liposuction resolve this?

September 26, 2015
Asked By:Post op rny in Illinois, IL

I have fat in my upper abdomen and sagging skin on my lower abdomen from losing 80lbs. Will I be a good candidate for a tummy tuck with liopsuction? I had a consulation for a tumny tuck but I dont know if my upper stomach issue was addressed fully. My concerns are that only the sagging skin will be addressed and I need my upper abdomen to be included in the tummy tuck. If both the upper and lower abdomen are an issue what procedure(s) should be suggested during a consulation?
