Would a tummy tuck help me achieve a toned appearance after weight loss? (photos)

Thank you for your question regarding the best method to achieve a toned appearance following significant weight loss. Judging from your history and the provided pictures, it appears that excess skin might not be a significant issue for you. If that's indeed the case, Vaser high-definition liposuction could be an excellent option. This procedure can effectively refine and emphasize the contours of the rectus muscle, providing a more toned look.
However, if you find that there is indeed an excess of skin after weight loss, a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty would be recommended. This procedure eliminates loose skin and tightens the underlying musculature to create a smooth and firm abdominal profile.

In conclusion, the best approach will depend on your specific circumstances. Therefore, I recommend a thorough consultation with an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your case and propose the most suitable course of action.
I hope this provides some clarity to your question.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Based on your pictures and history of significant weight loss, you are likely an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck to address your abdominal concerns. Whether that is a full tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck depends on your aesthetic goals and how much skin laxity (loose skin) is present as it is difficult to say from your picture alone.
A full tummy tuck comprehensively removes excess skin and fat while a mini tummy tuck is limited to trimming abdominal skin lying below the belly button.
As for your flanks or "love handles", liposuction coupled with Renuvion J plasma may help improve your overall contour in that area. Renuvion J Plasma is effective at tightening skin through its effect on collagen contraction on the treated areas.
A virtual or in person consultation with a Tummy Tuck specialist will provide you an accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully, Brandon Richland, MD

It is difficult to make a definitive recommendation without an in person evaluation but, liposuction with a minimally invasive skin tightening procedure may be all that is required.

This could be caused by loose skin as well as stubborn fat. If you haven’t noticed an improvement with your regular exercise routine, then a tummy tuck can help. This would eliminate the loose skin and remove stubborn fat. Liposuction can be performed at the same time to improve your sides (flanks).

Thank you for your question and congratulations on the weight loss. A tummy tuck will help remove the extra skin and yes help contour the entire mid section. Some Surgeons will also do some liposuction to the flank area to help bring that in. I would suggest speaking with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate you and discuss your options. Best of luck to you.

Thank you for your pictures and questions. You're eligible for liposculpture with male ab-etching, A Tummy Tuck would also help you achieve your shape goal.

Thank you for your question regarding a tummy tuck and for including photos. They are very helpful

If it is an excess skin problem, then a tummy tuck would certainly correct that. I recommend having two or more in person consultations with an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon to evaluate a skin versus fat issue.

Hi, it is difficult to provide you an accurate answer, but based on the photos you may have minimal skin excess. You would have to consider the scar from such surgery . An in person consult would be beneficial to properly assess. All the best!

Dear Celebrated995832
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

I don’t see that a tummy tuck would give you worthwhile improvement. Certainly would not be worth the scar. Maybe a little liposuction on the sides
