Is a tummy tuck worth it? I'll include my picture, but I'm 17 years old, turning 18 in Decemeber. I have some loose skin that has somewhat decreased. I'm just curious if you think I should have it and if it would make my stomach look presentable
Answer: Tummy tuck options in teenagers A skin only full tummy tuck would likely give you your best result. More than likely, it would not be necessary to tighten the deep layer at all given your level of fitness. The operation could be limited (so not a garden variety tummy tuck) in areas where your skin is tighter (upper abdomen).

Answer: Skin Excision is a good choice-Keep it simple You have lost weight around the abdomen area. The skin changes show this very well. You are male and a young man with a great looking upper abdomen. I would just excise the extra skin to make the area nice and tight. also putting the incision as low as possible.

Answer: Tummy tuck for loose skin in a 17 year old? In this case, yes Although you did not specify this, you look like you lost a fair amount of weight and have been exercising and have good muscle tone. The stretched out skin of the lower belly really compromises what you have achieved. That skin is not going to improve as you get older. You do not need a full tummy tuck procedure as you don't appear to have muscle separation. What you do need is a skin-only tummy tuck. This would be done through a long, horizontal incision just above your pubic area. The scar would be low enough to be hidden under the waist of low rider jeans. It is not common that I would recommend a surgery like this in a 17 year old, but I would guess that you are self conscious about the way your belly looks. At your age it would be great to feel good about wearing a swim suit.

Answer: Tummy tuck options Hi Nyrguy91 - It appears as though you may have had a large amount of weight loss owing to the stretch marks and excess skin. Therefore, a tummy tuck may be great for you to get rid of the excess skin. If you have looseness of your abdominal area, this can be tightened as well. Check out some before and after pictures to get an idea of what you want your abdomen to look like. Good luck!
