Currently consulting on these procedures. What might be the better option for me. I'm worried about "dog ears" and sonething called a "SpongeBob tummy tuck" - tummy tuck that results in a square like shape instead of an hour glass shape. I like my hips & booty. My goal would be to flatten my tummy and balance out my hips with a lift and implants.

Answer: Mommy Makeover - types of tummy tucks and lifts It's a bit hard to give you complete advice without seeing you in a arms down pose and from the side. From what I can see on your photos, I'd recommend just implants on your breasts. I am not sure a breast lift is needed and if it is needed after the implants are in you can decide that later. A full TT versus a mini TT is usually a tough question in patients as thin as you and I recommend a visit in person with experienced plastic surgeon. If you have just a little skin to pinch out I would do a miniTT. If the estimated skin to remove with a miniTT leaves you wondering if more can be taken out, then I recommend a full because that will give you the tightest outcome. Best Wishes!!

Answer: Mommy Makeover Thank you for the photo. It is helpful in answering your question. Although raising your arms lifts the nipple position and makes the abdominal skin appear tighter as well. A formal evaluation will be necessary to give you a more accurate answer but from this image I believe a "lollipop" lift with an implant will give you a very nice result.As far as the tummy tuck is concerned your question is insightful. You have a very nice shape which can be enhanced with a high lateral tension abdominoplasty. This technique removes more skin from the side of the abdomen than the middle which gives more definition to the waist. I have to admit I have not heard of the Sponge Bob tummy tuck but i get the visual.You should do beautifully with these procedures. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon to evaluate you and offer guidance.Good luck and I hope this was helpful.
