Tummy tuck and pubic lift? (Photos)

hello Tpclark87 This is an operation designed to improve the appearance of the abdomen,which may be overly protruding, or may have excess loose skin and fat.There are variations of the standard operationMost patients with massive weight loss require a more extensive operation. Frequently, additional enhancing surgeries such as liposuction to improve the waist line or other regions, pubis lift or breast surgery can be performed at the same time without delaying your recovery period. Please discuss with your doctor if this applies to you. #options #stomach

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  With that
being said, based on your photographs, you are a good candidate for a FDL tummy tuck.  A pubic lift and also be performed.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

 Congratulations on your successful weight loss! It is not unusual for the pubic area to be an area of concern.  For many patients undergoing tummy tuck surgery the pubic area may be an area of concern. This area may be large ( prominent) , ptotic (low), or deflated. Therefore, I think it is important to address the pubic area when performing the tummy tuck surgery.
When planning the tummy tuck incision it is possible to keep the incision low enough that it serves to “raise” the pubic area to some degree. I like to plan this incision when patients are wearing the “cut” of swimming suit that they plan to wear after the surgery.
During the tummy tuck procedure the pubic area may then be “lifted” and/or defatted ( either directly or with liposuction) as the specific patient's needs indicate.  
 
You are very correct in that if the pubic area is not treated during the tummy tuck procedure it may be a source of dissatisfaction afterwards. Revisionary surgery may be necessary to treat the area.
 I would suggest that you discuss your concerns/goals directly with your plastic surgeon, in front of the full-length mirror. Working together you will come up with the best course of action.
Best wishes.
