Can a tummy tuck without lipo address my underboob roll? (photo)

Hello!
Great question. Thank you for your pictures. Based on your images, it appears you may benefit from a full tummy tuck with liposuction. Please visit a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results.

Thank you for your question & photos!  Based on your photos, you would be a great candidate for lipo 360 and tummy tuck.  Liposuction will remove excess fat with some retraction of skin.  A tummy tuck will address excess skin & repair of 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.  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!

You will likely see some improvement to the area that concerns you with the tummy tuck.  You could always return once you have healed from surgery to have liposuction to that area.  I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon so that you can feel comfortable and confident in knowing what to expect in terms of results.

Hello. Thank you for the question and photos. Yes, I think a tummy tuck with liposuction of the upper abdomen will improve the overall contour of your abdomen and address your concerns. I typically use SafeLipo in combination with a progressive tension tummy tuck  for the best results in my practice. This will improve the abdominal contour, tighten the skin and muscle, without the need for a drainage tube. You should seek out a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in body contouring for the best results. Good luck.

Thanks for your inquiry, a traditional tummy tuck will not improve the fat and skin over the ribs.  You could have a staged liposuction, coolsculpt or other strategies in the future to address that area.
