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: 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.
