which is best?
It's difficult to say based on this one photo. If you have loose skin which extends around your entire torso you may actually need more than even an extended tummy tuck; you may need a body lift. This incision goes circumferentially around your waist and allows for removal of skin from the sides and lower back as well as the abdomen- which also lifts the buttock area as well. A tummy tuck alone may not treat your entire torso properly. I recommend consulting with a few plastic surgeons for a more detailed evaluation. Best wishes, Dr.Bruno
You are a candidate for an abdominoplasty. When you are in the sitting position place your hands under the skin apron. Follow this out laterally until it tapers off. This will give you an idea of the length of the incision necessary for your abdominoplasty. Your plastic surgeon, during an examination, will be able to advise you on the length of the incision needed to give you a full correction.
