Im 6 ft tall and 155 pounds, i used to be 260 pounds(all fat) and due to this i have loose skin on my torso specifically directly under and above my belly button. Its not a lot compared to others ive seen but its enough that i won't beable to get defined good looking muscle with it there. And it won't go away with time. So im what im really asking is will a tummy tuck allow me to get the body of a male model, or not? And will it have any unattractive side effects?

Answer: Realistic expectations following a tummy tuck
Dear Nathan, photographs would have helped significantly to opine with regards to your query. Judging from your specs, you seem to be a good candidate for a tummy tuck as it will address the loose skin over the abdomen, both above & below the belly button. Following the surgery you will have a flatter, more contoured abdomen with a scar well hidden in the bikini line. However, wether it will meet your lofty expectations of having a body of a male model is something you need to discuss with your plastic surgeon. Establishing realistic expectations pre op, ensure a feel good factor post op. All the best.

Answer: Is It Possible to Look Like a Male Model After I Have a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck or some variant may be recommended for the loose skin. The issue of obtaining a male model's physique is a different issue. This procedure may well put you closer to your goal. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of tummy tuck and liposuction procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
