Tummy tuck on short torso, and not a whole lot of extra skin, what should I expect? (photos)

Hi, thanks for your question and photo. Depending on your skin elasticity you would be a good candidate for either a radical abdominoplasty (which removes the maximal amount of skin, tightens the abdominal wall muscles and repositions the belly button BUT which in your case may leave a small vertical scar below the bikini line), a mini tummy tuck with liposuction (much more lipo and doesn't involve a scar around the belly button) OR liposuction alone (which if performed by a Specialist Plastic Surgeon highly experienced in this area can often achieve excellent results). If opting for a full/ radical tummy tuck I would certainly combine this with circumferential liposuction to assist in achieving the optimal "womanly" shape possible. Please see a Specialist Plastic Surgeon for advice, you'll be in good hands. 

I think you will benefit a great deal from a tummy tuck. This will help contour your abdominal region by removing the excess skin/fat. You will also probably need liposuction that can further help define your waist/back and hips. Not all of your stretch marks will be removed but there will definitely be an improvement. Make sure you have realistic expectations and please see a board certified plastic surgeon who can properly examine and evaluate you and recommend the correct procedures for you! Good luck!

You look like an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction on the flanks.  Some technical details can help prevent the scar from migrating up and the lipo can help in the flanks.  Discuss these concerns with your plastic surgeon.  You have to feel comfortable that all of your concerns have been addressed.
