Hi, thank you for sharing your question. It’s difficult to identify significant skin laxity in these photos so recommending a standard tummy tuck may be tough to do without a proper evaluation. Based on the photos alone and your information given, I would consider a mini tummy tuck.

Dear Sociable792985,

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. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
