Hello! I was trying to obtain a quote for BBL. I provided pictures and was told I would need a tummy tuck along with a BBL. Problem is, I do not have lose saggy skin. I do have a moom pouch. I am a petite person and carry my weight in my abdomen. I have had 4 pregnancies but only 2 live births. The doctor said because I have had 4 pregnancies, they need to do a tummy tuck to repair abdominal muscles. I currently weigh 113 lbs and I am 4”11’ tall. I have attached pictures. Tysm.
Answer: Lipo 360 and BBL Thank you for sharing your question and pictures. Your surgeon advised the tummy tuck, like you said, to target the abdominal muscle. By doing so, you will have a flatter stomach (the muscle separation creates a rounder look). But if you are not bothered by it, you don't have to do a tummy tuck. You can simply do a lipo 360 and BBL, but you will not have a totally flat stomach. It's all about your expectations and goals.

Answer: Liposuction Candidate. Thank you for the question. Based on the pictures it looks like you are a liposuction with BBL candidate but I will need to evaluate in person to check the abdominal weakness if this is the case you might need a tummy tuck as well to repair the muscles.

Answer: When trying to obtain quote for BBL, doctor said I need tummy tuck. Would this be required? Hi @Sincere364863, Thank you for your question. Each procedure serves a different purpose and in my criteria the two are needed. A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen. It also strengthens the abdominal muscles. There are several variations based on the patient's needs and expectations such as abdominal lipolysis, abdominal diastasis repair, skin removal with umbilical reconstruction, and so on. I believe that the best possible result is from liposculture where we take out fat from all parts of the body to make it more harmonious and transferring your own fat to the glutes to give it more volume. Is important that you are clear with your specialist in the results that you seek. Best! Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Protruding abdomen After each pregnancy the muscle get stretched and never goes back to its normal, plus visceral fat makes the appearance of protruding. Your skin appears not to be saggy because of the protruding abdominal wall, after the tightening of the muscle and reduction of fat, your abdominal skin will be saggy.
