work hard, eat clean pre-pregnancy my abdomen was this size. boot camp, hired personnel trainers, pilates(which was great) however as you can see in the pictures my abdomen is still in a world of its own. I've seen 5/6 surgeons, one misdiagnosed me telling me smart lipo will help, only two years later I was toldby the same surgeon and five others that only a tummy tuck will fix this issue. There are women who are similar some worse who've gotten lipo, or skin removal. Why can't I get skin removal?
Answer: Tummy tuck and liposuction Thank you for your inquiry and photos. Based on these photos, an abdominoplasty with liposuction will certainly address the stubborn fat in your abdominal area and excess skin laxity as well. A tummy tuck will flatten your belly by removing all excess skin and re-positioning your belly button. Muscle plication may also be done to further tighten your abdomen. Liposuction will further define your abdomen and remove fatty tissue. Be sure to consult a board certified plastic surgeon for this procedure. Best of luck. James Lee

Answer: Is a tummy tuck really my only option? Thank you for your question.The best option for you will be some weight loss followed by a full tummy tuck. If you do not find the scars acceptable another option would be Liposuction with a non surgical skin tightening procedure like ThermiTight® We have had fairly good results with this approach for patients with moderate skin laxity who are averse to skin incision and scars. All The Best !

Answer: Is a tummy tuck really my only option? Based on your photo's I agree with what you have been told, that a tummy tuck is really your only option if your main concern is loose skin. A tummy tuck will remove the excess skin, remove some of your stretch marks as well as reattach the abdominal muscles. Good luck!

Answer: Why does a TT make the most sense for me?? Ask Dr Ellen It always comes down to your goals. It sounds like your goal ("why can't I get skin removal?") is to trim your midsection as much as possible. Reaching this goal can only be achieved with a TT and in your case, a Full Tummy Tuck.TT is a procedure that removes lax skin and also fat to contour the abdomen.Lipo, regardless of the technique (Smart, Tumescent, Cool Sculpt, etc) just addresses the reduction of fat volume.Go for the Tummy Tuck!In good health,Ellen Mahony, MD
