I lift heavy weights w/ progressive overload 4x/weekly plus cardio. My gym fat percentage scale says I have 20% body fat. I weigh 150 @ 5'6 but I cannot lose my stomach. Worse, when I bend over, my skin hangs. I come from a long-line of flat butts, so working on my stomach flattening is important to enhance my overall proportions. I weighed 225lbs right before I birthed my daughter 11 yrs ago. The pics I see of tummy tucks are way worse than me. Is a mini tuck even appropriate?

Answer: Tummy tuck Dear Sarah Smiles, 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.

Answer: Tummy tuck options Thanks for your question and the photos you provided. My answer is limited because I did not examine you myself. Based on the stretch marks I see in your photos, a full tummy tuck would remove the greatest amount of skin to be excised. Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Answer: Hello You need a tummy tuck and repair of abdominal muscles, they look more separated below the navel, it's the best way to give you a flat abdomen
