After having two big babies and loosing weight my tummy has been left with this horrible overhang! I have loose skin above my belly button too! Will I ever have a nice tummy I am 24 and my self confidence is awful because of this everyday I am struggling because of my stomach. It’s majorly affecting my life I’m saving up for the operation but it’s not going to happen for a few years at least.
Answer: Abdominoplasty and liposuction You are not alone. Lots of my patients tell me how much this sort of thing affects them. I believe from looking at your photographs that a standard abdominoplasty and liposuction would work well. I tend to avoid fleur-de-lys abdominoplasties wherever possible because the scarring is not great and the complication rate is high. It is almost certain that you will need a muscle tightening procedure too. It's important whilst you are saving to maintain your weight loss and improve you core strength as much as you can.

Answer: Do I need a full tummy tuck or a fleur de lis? Dear Exquisite200217 Thanks for your question and sharing your photographs. Looking at your photos and considering your history of weight loss and childbirth, I believe you are a great candidate for a Fleur-de-Lys abdominoplasty. The reason for that is you seem to have excess skin both in horizontal and vertical directions therefore a normal tummy tuck can not give you the best shape.A Fleur-de-Lys abdominoplasty will help to remove the excess skin in both directions and narrow your waistline. I hope you find this explanation helpful.

Answer: Full tummy tuck with liposuction Thanks for your question and sharing the photographs. From the review of pictures you should get a good result from a full tummy tuck with liposuction .You will need the muscle repair . A fleur de lys abdominoplasty fives a midline scar and it is not liked by many patients and surgeon. Please see a plastic surgeon to discuss the procedure and expected outcome.

Answer: Do I need a full tummy tuck or a fleur de lis? From your photos it appears you are a good candidate for an extended tummy tuck. An examination would be needed to know for sure, but it seems you would not need a fleur de lis. When you are ready and at a stable weight, schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you.

Answer: Tummy tuck candidate Dear Exquisite200217, 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.
