Im 5'9 and the dr im leaning towards told me id be happiest with a full TT. I asked about an umbilical float because he told me i may not have enough skin for a full so i may end up with a small vertical scar where my old BB was. That part alone makes me not want a TT at all. When i asked about the float since im tall, he said i have too much skin for it? I guess im confused. Any insight or advice? My bmi is 26 and im an avid gym goer. Im a mom of 4.

Answer: Tummy tuck Dear brittanys09, 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.

Answer: Tummy tuck An in person evaluation is needed to determine the recommended procedure for you. From the photos it appears you are a good candidate for the tummy tuck and would not necessarily need a vertical incision. I encourage you to visit with a few board certified plastic surgeons to listen to varying opinions and rationale. Be sure to view before/after photos.
