Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

A short scar tummy tuck will remove 
loose skin and tighten the muscles to produce a nice, flat, tight 
abdomen.  Liposuction to the flanks and back is usually a good addition, but you may be thin enough to avoid this.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of tummy 
tucks and body contouring 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

It looks like you are tightening your abdominal muscles in the photo.  It is impossible to determine from a phot what you need.  An examination is necessary.A tummy tuck can be done as a solitary procedure.  Many times the results are enhanced by adding
liposuction to the hip and love handle area. 
A tummy tuck is also done in combination with a breast augmentation in a
mommy makeover.

Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
and member of the Aesthetic Society using the Smart Beauty Guide.  These Plastic Surgeons can guide you on all
aspects of facial surgery, breast augmentation and body procedures including
tummy tucks or mommy makeovers!
