I’m 5’4 190 pounds mom of 7 full term babies, oldest being 13 youngest 10 months. I’ve always been 170-175 pounds since 18 years old I’m 31. My last pregnancy I reached 235 pounds I’ve lost 45 pounds I’m content with my weight and was looking to have a tummy tuck due to my abdominal being longer and flabby. I’m not looking for a total flat stomach but just tightening I would like my stomach to match my body. Could I just get a tummy tuck or would I need lipo too if so on what areas of the body?

Answer: Tummy tuck with mesh If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Tummy tuck Dear Gregarious228972, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
