Am I good candidate for mommy makeover with extended tummy tuck? (Photos)

Hi! I think you are a good candidate for an abdominoplasty. This will remove the excess skin in your lower abdomen, repair your muscle in the midline and some liposuction to your flanks/waist area and this will help flatten your abdomen and accentuate your waist.

Hello, thank you for your question and photos. Tummy Tuck and Liposuction would be suggested for you. You will have a flatter abdomen once the excess skin is removed. Contoured body shape will be achieved via Liposuction when the excess fat is taken out of the body. A better evaluation can be made in person. I’d advise you have a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Thank you for your question! Yes, your photos suggest you are a candidate for body contouring surgery and I think you are correct with regard to the extended abdominoplasty. You will benefit liposuction as well. You have the option of using the fat removed during liposuction to augment your breasts and achieve a natural increase in volume if you so choose. Most patients benefit from rectus plication if there rectus abdominis muscles have separated. Your gluteal proportion looks excellent so gluteal fat transfer probably is not necessary.

Hello @TeamromanChangdoll_007, thank you for your question. It all depends on the surgical plan, the techniques of the treating specialist is important to be clear in the expectations and the results that can be obtained, that should always be to improve the patient's current state. A surgical plan will allow you to take into account not only the final results but also the process and the times and care to be clearer. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight. After this has been completed, you can consider liposuction or if needed a posterior continuation.

Best Wishes,
