Im wondering if visceral fat will keep a bulge. The internet says I have It and can’t obtain a flat stomach with a tummy tuck but I can make the upper part of my abdomen pretty small with sucking in so I’m not sure. Female 5’6 200 lbs 3 kids (1 vag & 2 c sections)
Answer: Visceral or subcutaneous fat Your surgeon can determine whether the bulge is caused by visceral fat or subcutaneous fat. Generally speaking, the fat that can be removed with a tummy tuck (subcutaneous fat) is “pinchable”. Based on your photos alone, you appear to have loose skin and subcutaneous fat that may be removed with a tummy tuck. However, it is difficult to say whether this removal would give you the flat stomach you’re hoping for. You’ll definitely be flatter, though.

Answer: Abdominoplasty Thank you for submitting your question and including photos! An abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) will allow us to get your abdomen as flat as your able to suck in. An abdominoplasty will remove excess skin as well as tighten your abdominal muscles (diastasis recti). Liposuction of the abdomen is also included in an abdominoplasty as well. I would recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself so we can create a surgical plan that is best for you and your goals!

Answer: Can I expect a flat abdomen after a tummy tuck? An Hourglass tummy tuck combined with 360 Lipo and Corset abdominal tightening will give the most defined and sexy figure. It is imperative that you have reached desired weight goal prior to surgery in order to achieve the best result. The less intraabdominal fat the flatter the end result. Seek a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area who specializes and offers the Hourglass Tummy Tuck.

Answer: Tummy Tuck Thank you for your questions and photos. From your photos, you would be an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck! A tummy tuck will address excess skin & repair of the abdominal muscle. The abdominal wall can be weakened after pregnancy and (or) significant weight gain & loss. By repairing the muscle, not only does the appearance of your abdominal area improve, but your core strength as well. The repair of the muscle will cinch your waist like an inner corset, which will accentuate your curves. Liposuction will remove excess fat from unwanted areas with some skin retraction. Your expectations and health will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals. Best of luck! Dhaval Patel MD Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Chicago South Barrington Oakbrook Orland Park
