Had a consultation today and the doctor said I needed a Circumferential tummy tuck, and that it would help with my back fat better than what Lipo would. I’m not sure if that’s correct or not. I don’t feel like I have that much loose skin as it’s not necessarily saggy as it’s just fat hanging off me. He said doing this procedure would get rid of my bat wings and my apron belly.

Answer: Circumferential vs not Hello and thank you for your question. The first way to answer this is to see what your priorities are - if you are not bothered by your back, then you absolutely do not need to do a procedure there. That said, your photos do show great liposuction candidate areas (for lipo 360) in addition to the tummy tuck. The skin quality appears very good (no stretch marks, loose/crepey skin). In our practice, usually patients who have had bariatric surgery/massive weight loss will we strongly recommend a circumferential procedure to address the exacerbated skin laxity that is present on both front and back.

Answer: Considering options From your photos it appears an extended tummy tuck with liposuction of the hips/flanks and back would be adequate. It doesn't appear you have significant loose skin on your back that would be addressed with a circumferential approach.
