Under boob roll. Will it go away after I have my TT? (Photo)

Your
breasts are large and pulling down on your chest wall.  A breast lift using The Bellesoma Method may
solve your roll problem.  This will
reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants,
elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your
cleavage.  The weight of the breast is
transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief
and long term stability.  Vertical scars
are avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are maintained.  At the same time, liposuction can be
performed of this area or abdominoplasty. 
I always recommend doing the breasts first otherwise the tummy tuck will
pull the breasts lower.  Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

With a full tummy tuck it will be much better.  Whether it will be gone completely is impossible to predict.

Hello,If your doctor was vague, it doesn't sound like confidence or experience. That is not an under boob roll, that is your upper abdomen, and it represents mostly excess skin, so it can be flattened very well, especially if progressive tension sutures are employed. Another benefit is eliminating the use of drains. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons who use progressive tension sutures for their tummy tucks. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question and photo. Based on this single view photo and no other information, you are NOT a good candidate for a tummy tuck in my opinion. Others seem to disagree. It depends what is your long term goal. If you want an hourglass figure, due to your significant fat layer that you have, you need a staged procedure. If you were my patient, I would do VASER lipo 360 degrees (whole abdomen, pubic area, full back, waist, hips, lower back fat pad, anterior and lateral chest wall up to and around breast crease, armpits) with possible fat grafting to the buttocks (no photos to really evaluate this) and a tummy tuck 4-8 months later with a low pubic bone level incision and a much, much shorter scar than if you have your tummy tuck now with "some" liposuction.See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. See enclosed web reference. Good luck.

Dear Pnut33,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination but you will most likely benefit from a combination of tummy tuck and liposuction. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

Liposuction can address stubborn, localized fatty deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Both a TT and lipo can be performed in one surgery.  Liposuction results and the degree of improvement are entirely dependent upon the surgeon.  Search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as before and after photos on that surgeon's website.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the pictures and provided information as well.
Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for liposuction and a full tummy tuck, to give you a nice tight tummy and get ride of this extra fat.
Along with the tummy tuck, liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You improve your waist, back and flanks.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

Pnut33  Hi There ,  Thank you for your Question  That is not an under boob roll, that is your upper abdomen, and it represents mostly excess skin, so it can be flattened very well , with the Tummuy Tuck you skin gets pull down and cut the excess of skin , so you are a good candidate for the procedure ,  I will advise to talk to your Certify Plastic Surgeon for a more explicit recommendation and a virtual consultation . Many surgeons, including myself, offer online virtual consultations where you send us your photos and we can estimate the cost. I, like many surgeons, also offer free consultations so that you can be examined and given the most accurate quote.

your surgeon must release that crease and if your layer is thick, a lipoabdominoplasty would be much better than just a standard tummy tuck.  But there are risks for flap edge necrosis so make sure you understand everything about what your procedure will do for you before you go under the knife.

Thanks for your excellent question!  Your plastic surgeon is being vague because it is a difficult question to answer, and depends on several things.  Firstly, you should understand that tummy tucks are mostly for the removal of extra skin, not fat.  Because of this, a tummy tuck is best done when you are at a good body weight, minimizing the fat that persists on your tummy.  In an abdominoplasty alone, the extra fat in the upper abdomen is NOT addressed.Removal of accessible fat that is on the outside of your abdominal muscles is most often done with liposuction, which can be done with abdominoplasty.  The formal name for this is lipoabdominoplasty, and is a longer, more involved operation than abdominoplasty alone.  Your doctor can tell you how much liposuction you can have at the same time as the abdominoplasty, but most responsible surgeons will limit the amount liposuction to safe volumes based on the amount of fat that needs to be removed and the time it takes to do the entire surgery.  I hope that helps!Dr. L
