Slightly confused now after my last consult and wishing I’d asked more questions. Dr recommended ETT, lipo to flanks and full back. After asking if I would be flat. He answered by stating that if I wanted my waist to be smaller, I’d need a FDL. I didn’t want an FDL so asked if I’d still look good with just ETT. He said yes. Now I’m conflicted whether I’ll still look better with a ETT. I don’t expect to be tiny, I’m 5’5.5 and 195lbs. Will I look okay with just ETT? Or wasting my money?

Answer: Tummy tuck surgery Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photos, you appear to be a good candidate for a full tummy tuck (possibly extended incision tummy tuck) which would allow to remove the excess skin below the belly button and to tighten the recuts (abs) muscle in order to achieve a flat abdominal contour. Liposuction of abdomen and flanks can help further improve abdominal contour and create more hourglass shape. I would recommend to obtain an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options and expectations. I hope this helps.

Answer: Considering options From your photos it appears an ETT approach to the tummy tuck will be sufficient. The liposuction will help contour your curves and add to your overall results. It does not appear a fleur de lis is necessary.
