Am I a good candidate for a tummy tuck without weight loss? Should I consider lipo and where? (Photo)

February 15, 2015
Asked By:ByouTful1 in Killeen, TX

I'm 30 yrs old, 5'7, 246lbs, I'm relatively healthy (dont smoke/drink), no health problems, hysterectomy at 18, 1 child. My expectation/goal is not to be skinny, but proportionate for my body type. Weight loss has been a struggle for me having PCOS. I've maintained my weight over the years. Although I'm not happy with what the scale says, I know my body,I know what I can do with it, and I'm content with everything except my stomach. Please share your thoughts, comments, concerns! Thanks
