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.

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.
