Do I need full tummy tuck? What can I do about my belly? (Photos)

Question

Chet Mays, MD · Answer

Thank you for your inquiry! By your photos, it looks like you would be a great candidate for an abdominoplasty to get rid of excess skin. The only difference in a mini vs a full abdominoplasty is how long the incision is. A mini tummy tuck is going to have a smaller incision than a full tummy tuck. Muscle repair, removal of excess skin, and liposuction are all included with both a mini and a full tummy tuck. I recommend scheduling a consult appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself so we can create a surgical plan that is best for you and your goals!

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

An in person consultation is always best, but it appears from your photos that you're a good candidate for a standard tummy tuck.  This would address the loose skin and excess fat as well as correct abdominal wall separation.  The result would be a flatter, tighter tummy.  The next step is to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you.

Thank you for your question and pictures. I would recommend you mini tummy tuck with Liposuction for betters results. If you're willing to travel, Surgeons in the Dominican Republic have experience and very high standard of excellence when it comes to plastic surgery. I'm positive you can get what you're looking for

It looks like you have some loose skin above and below your belly button, therefore a full tummy tuck would be more suitable for you.

Richard Baxter, MD · Answer

Because of the significant skin laxity above your belly button, a mini tummy tuck is not going to help. A full tummy tuck will address your concerns the best.
