Is an extended tummy tuck the best option for me? (photos)

Asked By:leo2700 in Alexandria, Virginia

Hello, I'm 33 and weigh 150 pounds, with a body fat percentage of 15, according to a recent DEXA scan. My highest weight was 260 in 2013. The two surgeons I've met with so far have recommended an extended tummy tuck and said they are hesitant to give me the larger scars from FDL and 360. This seems like the right call. One doctor also said that down the road, I might want to consider a wedge excision of the flanks. Do you agree? Does anyone have any additional advice? Thanks.
