I am looking to get a full tummy tuck, but I am worried about these prominent upper fat pockets after.The pic in pink top is me breathing in). My question is, are they loose skin or fat pockets as I believe them to be and will a full tummy tuck get rid of them? I have studied lots of before and after pics and most ladies don’t seem to have these. My main aim is to look good in clothes! If I have a flat stomach will these pockets look really unsightly? Thank you.

Answer: Tummy tuck candidate Dear crazydaisyx6,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. You might also need a liposuction in order to get the best results. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Will tummy tuck get rid of upper abdominal fat rolls? Thank you for your question and photos. There upper abdominal bulges you have is some skin redundancy and small fat deposits. These are very common in all women. With tummy tuck they are corrected as all of the skin is pulled down and stretched. If they are very prominent, light liposuction of the bulges may be done, but is not always necessary. Your plastic surgeon should be able to address these during your procedure. Good luck.
