What Result Can I Expect After TT/Flank Lipo? (photo)
I have been dreaming about this for a long long time. I weighed over 200 pounds my whole high school years (36 now) in the last three years I have had 2 kids but afterwards been able to get down to the 125-135 mark. I'm 5'3. I do love to run and of course this extra flap and blubber makes my running a little more difficult. I have a consultation coming up and find that i'm dreaming for the first time to be able to wear a bikini, do you think that after my TT/flank lipo this will be the case?

Tummy Tuck Results and Bikini
Looking at your pictures, you seem like a great candidate for a tummy tuck and liposuction. I would make sure that you are at a comfortable weight and that you do not plan on having any more children. Most plastic surgeons will make your incision low enough to be able to wear a bikini but it will take an examination with your plastic surgeon to confirm this. Even after examination, your plastic surgeon may not be able to guarantee a low scar as we don't know for sure your results from...

Tummy Tuck
Yes, you are a very common scenario for patients seeking a Tummy Tuck. May I make a couple suggestions? First, make sure your weight loss has stabilized before surgery. This means that your weight has been approximately the same for the past 3 to 6 months. Next, abdominoplasty’s or tummy tucks are not little procedures. Consider setting some time aside for the procedure and your recovery. Many plastic surgeons combine liposuction with the abdominoplasty with a procedure called...
