Do I Need a THIRD Tummy Tuck? (photo)

I am 52, 5'6" NEVER weighted more than 125/130. Had mini tuck at 27 to remove stretch marks and excess skin, afterwards still had excess skin. Had full abdominoplasty at 40. After last surgery the PS said that I looked great and my waist was small (it was never big). He said he would lipo one side of pubic area which extends further out then other, said the excess skin was nothing! Sideways in jeans my stomach is extended,and hangs over. Is this normal after two surgeries? Do I need this again?

An in person consultation is needed.

It is impossible to tell what you have from those photos, but it does look as if you have excess skin and would benefit from a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Third abdominoplasty

I don't find the photos to be very helpful so I suggest that you see a board certified plastic surgeon in consultation. You could have very lax skin and only a physical exam will indicate whether there is enough to be gained from additional surgery.

Abdomen should look great after tummy tuck.

Hi. 1) I don't know why, but it looks like you stomach can be made to look a lot better with another abdominoplasty. 2) Just going by the way your belly button looks, I don't think you have had a full abdominoplasty in the past. 3) This video is a little outdated (we have made progress in several areas), but you may find it useful anyway. see video
