My upper belly is saggy and loose but I don't have loose skin on the lower part of my belly can I still get a tummy tuck ?
Answer: Yes quite possible Your issues are quite reasonable and there are great abdominoplasty techniques to provide good tightness to the tissues in your photo. A proper high lateral tension procedure works well.I hope this helps. I am available virtually if you have other questions.Leland Deane MD FACS2020 Castle Connolly Best Doctor

Answer: Tummy tuck Hi, thank you for sharing your question. The ideal way to get the best advice would be after an in person evaluation, however based on your photos, it seems that you may be a candidate for tummy tuck. Given the amount of loose skin, a full tummy tuck should be able to address the laxity above and below the belly button. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to review all your options. I hope this helps. Best of luck!

Answer: Tummy tuck vs other options Everyone’s skin is usually looser when sitting, otherwise it would be difficult to flex at waist. On standing view, you do not appear to have lax skin either above or below the belly button to warrant tummy tuck.This would have to be evaluated in person after reviewing history, exam, etc with a plastic surgeon for other options and best recommendations.

Answer: Abdominal evaluation The answer is yes you can. In fact, this is exactly what the tummy tuck operation was designed for. The skin is tucked throughout your abdominal wall. Also, the muscles are tucked and some liposuction is typically performed during a tummy tuck. From your photos it looks like you are a good candidate for this procedure. Virtual consultations are available during which many options that are available to you can be discussed.

Answer: Options Hello, in situations where there’s more loose skin in the upper part of the abdomen, one can perform either a mini tummy tuck or even a reverse tummy tuck. I recommend a virtual consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon near you. Thank you. Mark G. Albert, M. D. New York, NY
