40 yo man, asian decent, had vaser lipo with renuvion tightening 5 years ago. Height weight have been stable at 5’10 and 168 lbs. Compliant with consistent diet and exercise regimen. Will I benefit from a tummy tuck or further weight loss?
Answer: Weight loss Dear Improvement2019, congrats on the weight loss! Generally speaking, you want to reach your goal weight before you consider a tummy tuck, otherwise your results will be suboptimal if you continue to lose weight after the surgery.

Answer: Male tummy tuck The single photo shows some fullness between the pubic region and the belly button. It is difficult to know whether this represents an excess of fat, skin or both. If fat, liposuction can thin the fat to reduce the appearance of fullness. If it is more of a skin excess, you can have a procedure that just removes an area of skin above the pubic area which will flatten that area of fullness above. I often do this in the office with local anesthesia which is extremely effective for this type of procedure and allows you to avoid the costs of an operating room and anesthesiologist. I think a full or traditional abdominoplasty would be more than you need considering the appearance of the abdominal wall above the belly button. Best of luck.

Answer: Continued weight loss. Thank you for your photographs. You’ve done an excellent job and keeping yourself in very good shape. Your abdominal contour looks excellent and it does not appear that you have excess skin that would benefit from an abdominoplasty. Continued weight loss and core exercises should help to define your abdominal contour even more. This helps you avoid an incision on your abdomen. Best wishes.

Answer: Tummy tuck It looks like you may have loose skin. For this reason, a tummy tuck would be a more suitable option for you. Further weight loss would only make your skin looser.

Answer: Abdomen An examination is needed to be certain, but you appear to have some excess lower abdominal skin which could be removed with a mini tuck. You could also try minimally invasive radiofrequency skin tightening like Renuvion for improvement.
