24yr male very athletic - small tummy tuck? 6 pac+

Skin  excisions in men, either panniculectomies (remove extra skin only) or tummy tucks (tighten skin above umbilicus as well) usually heal very well in men.

Your plastic surgeon can go over the options and expected results with you.

You don't seem to have much loose skin in the upper abdomen.

Thank you for your question and photo!  You would definitely benefit from a Tummy Tuck!  I advise you to seek a board certified plastic surgeon and have a consultation!  Best of luck!Dr Dhaval PatelDouble Board Certified Plastic SurgeonChicagoHoffman EstatesOak Brook

Your photos are deceiving in that at first glance it looks like there is not much extra skin as it does not hang over your pants. On closer observation you can see strecth marks that extend half way up on either side of the abdomen, a small assymetric lower abdominal fold mostly on the lower right, small bulges low down on the sides and skin from above hanging over the belly button. These issues can be improved with your standard tummy tuck but the trade off is a scar. The decision would be easier to make if the lower fold of skin hung over and covered the upper edge of your pants. I don't think a mini tuck would suffice given the extent of the stretchmarks. If you did a standard full tummy tuck with a little bit of liposuction around the edges you could make the lower abdomen more symmetric, get rid of at most half of the stretchmarks while shifting the remainder lower down on the torso, get rid of the less severe upper abdominal skin and flatten the bulges lower down on the sides. You would have to decide that the resulting skin scar justifies the results.
