Scheduled a TT because this stretched skin is not gonna anywhere. Do I need muscle repair and will I benefit from Lipo to the flanks? For some reason my surgical coordinator kept stating extended TT but I don’t think I need the extension just a TT
Answer: Tummy tuck and Lipo Thank you for your question and pictures. I would recommend you a 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

Answer: Tummy Tuck Thank you for your question and photos! A tummy tuck will address excess skin & repair of the abdominal muscle. The abdominal wall can be weakened after pregnancy and (or) significant weight gain & loss. By repairing the muscle, not only does the appearance of your abdominal area improve, but your core strength as well. The repair of the muscle will cinch your waist like an inner corset, which will accentuate your curves. Liposuction will remove excess fat from unwanted areas with some skin retraction. Your expectations and health will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals. Best of luck!

Answer: Stretched skin - Do I need Muscle Repair with a Tummy Tuck? Muscle repair is a standard part of most all tummy tucks. Prior pregnancy stretches the abdominal wall to some extent. I also do liposuction with almost all my tummy tucks to enhance shape.

Answer: Your surgeon will let you know Your surgeon can let you know if muscle repair is needed. It is difficult to say whether you would need it based on your photo alone, however it is common for women who’ve had children to require repair. Liposuction can be performed at the same time as your tummy tuck to contour your sides if your surgeon recommends it.

Answer: Tummy tuck From the limited photo it appears you are a good candidate for the tummy tuck. This will address excess skin, fat in front of the abdominal wall, and correct muscle wall separation. A different photo would be needed to determine if a standard tummy tuck or extended is recommended. Liposuction of the flanks often can be performed at the same time as the tummy tuck. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.
