I'm worried I have too much visceral fat to have a good result with a full tummy tuck. With lipo can I expect a more defined waist? I do not want to look thick with a flat stomach... I'm also scared if I have too much visceral fat, my surgeon won't have enough skin to pull and I will end up with a vertical scar in addition to my TT scar... Lastly, I would also like higher rounder smaller breast ... I'd love your opinions... Thanks doctors!!!!
Answer: Too much visceral fat for Tummy tuck???? Based on your pictures, you would have a nice result with a combined lipo-abdominoplasty. Consider a non-drain tummy tuck with a Rapid Recovery program. The breasts can be addressed at the same time. See link below for examples.

Answer: Too much visceral fat for Tummy tuck? Excellent question! To start, yes, you should be seen in person in order to have the most accurate diagnosis. Judging solely on the images, you would be a great candidate for a standard Tummy Tuck. No vertical scar should be necessary if the closure is done with the bed flexed. We always perform liposuction of the hip and flanks and often in the anterior abdomen as well- definitely defines the waist. Additionally, Wide Abdominoplasty Rectus Plication will flatten your contour to help address the fullness created by the visceral fat. A small breast reduction can be done in conjunction with the Tummy Tuck, and we recommend that you consider a small amount of fat grafting to the superior pole for upper pole fullness. Good luck with your procedure & don’t hesitate to reach out should you have additional questions or concerns!
