I'm overweight. I'm 46 years old ,never had children. 175 cm in height and 104 kilos. My BMI is in the obese range . I feel l I could easily lose and tighten up the other parts of my body if my center core was stronger. I am in good health. No illnesses , allergies. I don't smoke and rarely drink. Would I be able to get a tummy tuck? If so what is the price range for doing so? I'm located in Istanbul, Turkey, but I go to America once a year during the summer .

Answer: Tummy tuck Just looking at your photos, you do appear to be a good candidate for a tummy tuck. Exercising will not remove excess skin. If you come to the US for this procedure, you do need to plan to stay for a few weeks, at least 4, to make sure you are healing well before travelling back home.

Answer: Tummy tuck recommendations Thank you for your question and pictures. In general, I always recommend that my patients have a consistent weight before an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). If you are in the process of exercising and dieting, wait until you are at a stable weight before undergoing an operation. As you lose weight quickly, you develop more excess skin, which will not be corrected by exercise or diet. If you are "stuck" trying but not losing or gaining weight ultimately, then it may be time for the surgery. The important thing to know is a tummy tuck is mainly an operation to remove the excess abdominal skin and tighten up the abdominal muscles. If excess fat in the abdomen is the issue, then liposuction may be the more appropriate procedure, or a combination of the two. I recommend you consult with a plastic surgeon to properly examine you and discuss your different options. Price range is difficult to say depending on the surgeon, facility location, geographical location, and your specific surgical needs. I hope this helps, good luck.
