I have booked a full tummy tuck with muscle repair and 360 lipo for May 10th. Does that seem to be the right choice for my body? I have had three children and significant weight loss over 5 years. My weight has been steady for the last three and I am happy being a curvy woman. I want to be free of this apron of fat! I went to achieve a flatter tummy.
Answer: Tummy tuck and lipo 360 Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you are a great candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction. This can be done through a low incision, all completely below the bikini line. The belly button can be designed to look natural and have no scars on the exterior. Your muscles can also be plicated resulting in a flat abdomen. Back liposuction can be performed at the same time for improved back and waist contour. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Is a full tummy tuck with muscle repair and 360 lipo the right choice for me? Yes... Yes, based on your description and photograph, you will likely be a great candidate for tummy tuck surgery at some point. Generally speaking, the “ideal” patient for tummy tuck surgery is one who has completed pregnancies, is psycho socially/emotionally/financially stable, has an excellent social support system surrounding him/her, is capable of arranging enough recovery time, does not smoke and who has reached a long-term stable weight. This operation will serve to remove “excess” skin/adipose tissue of the lower abdominal wall and “reconstruct” the abdominal wall fascia/muscle. When the time is right, seek consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience helping patients achieve the types of outcomes you would be pleased with. Best wishes.
