Long story short,my body is horrible.After 4 c-sections I'm covered in stretch marks that go well above the naval and cover my entire abdominal wall and sides. Also have fat and loose skin. Am 5'10 170 lbs. Wanting to rid myself of as much of it as possible,is a corset trunkplasty an option for me? It seems to remove more loose skin and fat/tissue (and stretch marks!!!)than any other style of tummy tuck? Thank u for your time.
Answer: Would a corset trunkplasty be a good option for me? Tummy tuck with liposuction of the sides and back would likely produce the best results for you.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA

Answer: Corset Trunkplasty Hello,This is a fantastic procedure that tightens the skin in both vertical and horizontal vectors. However, it is really designed for people who have had massive weight loss. It gets it power from recruiting skin that is all the way around the side of the body and bringing it to the front. It is very impressive, but will leave you with a long vertical scar and two horizontal scars, one below the breasts and the other in the pubic area. I think either a standard abdominoplasty or a fleur de lys abdominoplasty with it's vertical scar will be sufficient for you, however. Go visit a few expert body contouring surgeons who are certified by the ABPS and are members of the ASAPS.Best of luck!

Answer: Would a corset trunkplasty be a good option for me? Thank you for your questions and for sharing your photographs. I can see your areas of concern and you do have excess skin/fat, in addition to underlying muscle looseness, both of which can be improved with a full tummy tuck and muscle repair. I would see a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person assessment. They will best advise you on steps to maximize your aesthetic outcomes while minimizing risk factors. Once decided upon surgery, I would have you start a healthy diet and exercise regimen to reach your goal weight. This weight should be one that you feel comfortable at, and can maintain, as fluctuations in weight will compromise your results. Any weight loss before surgery will also maximize the amount of skin and tissue that can be removed. Hope this helps.

Answer: Would a corset trunkplasty be a good option for me? Thank you for the question and picture. You will likely be a good candidate for tummy tuck (standard or extended) surgery; definitive advice however would necessitate much more information. Best to do this operation when you are at your long-term stable weight, if you are not there already. Doing so will help improve the outcome of the procedure and minimize chances that additional surgery will be necessary subsequently.
