I am considering a Extended tummy tuck with liposuction to my flanks/lower back and bra rolls. My upper abs I am hoping when they tight my muscles during tummy tuck it will get rid of that Balloon like look. I had a unsuccessful tummy tuck that left me with ugly doggies ears and scars. My weight didn't change. I do not like the result from my tummy tuck I had five years ago. I'm looking for a 24-30 inch waistline.
Answer: Tummy tuck revision I don’t think you will be happy unless weight loss is a part of the overall plan. Then after the revision surgery make sure you do not gain it back. Weight gain after tummy tuck is the number one cause of dissatisfaction.

Answer: Tummy tuck candidate Dear Dr7423, 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. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Will an extended tummy tuck with lipo to flanks and bra rolls finally give me that snatched and small waistline? Hello and thank you for your question and sharing your photos. I believe you benefit from a revision tummy tuck and 360 liposuction of your abdomen and flanks. During tummy tuck, extra skin in the lower half of your abdomen including the stretch marks will be removed. In addition, typically the fascial laxity/separation of recti muscles will be taken care of by muscle plication, giving you a flat abdomen. The added liposuction of your hips/flanks will help with creating a natural and aesthetic waistline. Incision can be placed very low to be hidden under bikini. With proper surgical technique, belly button can be designed to be a true 'innie'. Recovery from tummy tuck is 1-2 weeks. Strenuous activity and lifting heavy weights should be avoided 6 weeks to 3 months post op. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice.

Answer: Liposuction vs lipo/TT You have several issues now. You definitely have excess fat of your abdomen, sides and back. This may be addressed with just liposuction alone. If your belly still has loose skin, then yes, a tummy tuck or extended abdominoplasty may benefit you.You must have internal fat (visceral fat) which would require weight loss to reduce the pressure in your abdomen and flatten the front of your stomach.Anyone who dies not discuss diet and exercise with you is also doing you a disservice.Dr T
