Can I get a tummy tuck being a plus size woman? I love my curves just want my tummy flat and my planks gone?

Thank you for the question. Definitive advice would require in person evaluation but, generally speaking, it is possible for "plus size woman" to undergo tummy tuck surgery. Also, generally speaking, it is always best to achieve long-term stable weight prior to proceeding with body contouring surgery. Doing so, will increase the safety of the operation, will likely improve the outcome of the operation, and will decrease chances that additional surgery will become necessary subsequently. In my practice, I do not ask specific patients to achieve a specific weight prior to proceeding with tummy tuck surgery. I simply ask patients to achieve a long-term stable weight where he/she feels comfortable and does not expect significant fluctuation postoperatively.  When the time is right, seeking consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons will be your next/best step. Best wishes.

Hi Bellarina, A tummy tuck is a great procedure that can significantly improve a persons figure. It is important to have a consultation to determine if this is the right procedure for you and if not , why. All body contouring procedures will have better results if the person is near or at their optimal weight however a person does not need to be thin to have a tummy tuck. Hope this helps. Good luck.
