Do I have enough skin to be removed? (Photo)

Ideally, when doing the “pinch test” to determine what skin can safely be removed from a patients lower abdomen, the thumb is placed just above the top of the pubic hair and the fingers just above the belly button. If you can easily approximate the thumb and finger, all the tissue between can be removed. You may not have that much laxity to your skin, but still wish to keep the horizontal part of your incision as low as possible so your surgeon realizes the belly button opening won’t be able to be removed and would be closed as a small vertical scar. One other option is to have your tummy tuck incision slightly higher up your lower abdomen, which would make it easier to approximate the upper and lower skin, without the need for the T part. Have a detailed discussion with your plastic surgeon about which would be best for you. Best wishes.

Once your muscles are tightened, you will have excess skin which can be removed with the tuck. You should do very well with a tuck. Perhaps you may not need the vertical scar.

Saludos,una pregunta es, tienes hijos? cuantos,? cuando fue el ultimo embarazo? si las respuesta fue si eres candidata a tummy tuck, ya que al tener embarazo los músculos abdominales de destienden y es necesrio, la cicatriz quedaría justo debajo mas abajo de bikini
