Is a circumferential tummy tuck needed? (Photos)

Hello, both opinions are correct, your desire matters. But when I look at the photo I feel that I recommend an extended tummy tuck instead of circumferential, and lips 360. Regards.

Thank you for your inquiry and for sharing your pictures. Considering the details provided, I would strongly recommend a circumferential tummy tuck, also known as a 360 lower body lift or belt lipectomy.
This procedure involves making an incision low on the abdomen, extending over the hips and around the back, in the shape of a belt. The muscle is then repaired, and the skin tightened, giving you a more flattened abdomen. As the incision is carried over the hips and buttocks, it will lift and reduce these areas, leading to a more harmonious contour.
Liposuction might result in excess hanging skin if performed in these areas without a lift. A circumferential tummy tuck or lower body lift will tighten the skin and permanently remove any excess fat and loose hanging skin.
This comprehensive approach should give you a well-rounded, more defined result. Please consult a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and determine the best action.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Hello @Creative486952, thank you for your question. Every specialist has his or her own criteria. I believe that a tummy tuck with a very low scar and smaller scar, from hip to hip just above the pubic area rather than a circumferential tummy tuck is a better option. Our technique for tummy tuck utilizes advanced technology and progressive methods that focus on making the incision as small as possible, resulting in minimal scarring. For more information and recommendations is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
