Answer: Tummy Tuck / Abdominoplasty for Women -- Rectus Muscle Plication, Excess Skin & Fat Excision, Minimal Scarring, Liposuction You need a formal evaluation by a licensed plastic surgeon and expert in abdominal surgery to determine what is best for you and your goals.The key to a successful tummy tuck (or abdominoplasty) is to address the multiple layers that are damaged with pregnancies or weight fluctuations. For most patients I will perform internal rectus muscle plication to flatten and tighten the abdominal wall while creating a better waistline. The excess abdominal skin and fat is then excised and tightened, leaving a low, discreet transverse scar. Keeping this scar as low as possible is important so my patients can wear normal bikinis and low-cut jeans. For many patients, I will use liposuction as an adjunctive procedure to further refine the torso. To accelerate recovery and reduce the risk of complications, I spend extra time placing progressive tension sutures to tack the abdominal tissues down to the abdominal wall and eliminate space for fluid to collect. I also use a medication called Exparel that is a local anesthetic that releases over a 3-day period; by injecting this carefully in the surgical areas, particularly where the muscle is tightened, I am able to dramatically reduce the immediate discomfort associated with abdominoplasties. Ideal candidates for this procedure are women who have had children or experienced extreme weight loss and were left with excess skin. During the evaluation, we will discuss your needs and identify the best abdominoplasty technique for you. I suggest consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon and expert in body contouring. - Dr. Cohen

Answer: Am I eligible for a TT and lipo at 15 stone It is best for you to lose weight before considering the procedures you mentioned. This is for your safety, to optimize results, and to keep risks such as infection and poor wound healing from increasing. Typically it is recommended that a patient have a BMI of 30 or under when considering elective plastic surgery.

Answer: Tummy Tuck advice Thank you for the question. The best advice you can get is from consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Your weight and height will determine your body mass index (BMI). Ideally, you would like your BMI to be less than 30, however, this decision is individualized based on your overall health status and what procedure you are having among others. The closer you are to your ideal body weight, the better the results of the surgery and the less likelihood of perioperative complications.

Answer: Q:Am I eligible for a TT and lipo at 15 stone? (photos) I think weight loss would help to create a more favorable final result. However, this may or may not be realistic for you. Liposuction in conjunction with a TT will remedy the abdomen and the pubic area at the same time. A tummy tuck is a safe procedure when performed with good clinical judgment and technical mastery in the appropriate patient.

Answer: Am I eligible for a TT and lipo at 15 stone? Thank you for the question. Generally speaking, it is always best to achieve long-term stable weight prior to proceeding with body contouring surgery. Doing so, will increase the safety of the operation, will likely improve the outcome of the operation, and will decrease chances that additional surgery will become necessary subsequently. In my practice, I do not ask specific patients to achieve a specific weight prior to proceeding with tummy tuck surgery. I simply ask patients to achieve a long-term stable weight where he/she feels comfortable and does not expect significant fluctuation postoperatively. As you know, recruiting other professionals such as personal trainers, nutritionists, physicians who specialize in weight loss concerns, bariatric surgeons etc. may be helpful to you. Having said that, there are a subset of patients who are above the ideal long-term stable weight who benefit from panniculectomy surgery. The panniculectomy operation involves excision of the lower abdominal wall pannus or overhanging skin/adipose tissue. It is not considered an aesthetically driven procedure; it is often performed to help with concerns such as skin breakdown, infections/rashes… When the time is right, seeking consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons will be your next/best step. Best wishes.
