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

Question

I currently weigh 180lbs. I am more worried about my abdomen then I am my butt. I would like a flat stomach with my waist snatch. I know everybody is different do you think my body will be a dramatic change or no. I don't want to go in coming out worst then I already do. I been eating healthy and working out but the weight takes long to come off. I think By repairing my abdomen it can be a significant change I don't know what do you think I should do. I have pics ideas please review an example.

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 @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.

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.

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.

Thank you for your question and series of photographs. Nothing replaces an in-person examination, but I think you would most benefit from a full tummy tuck and liposuction of your back waistline. The tummy tuck will tighten your stomach muscles, helping to achieve a flatter appearance, while removing excess skin and adipose tissue. Liposuction can be used to enhance your tummy tuck results by narrowing your waist and removing isolated areas of diet and exercise resistant fat. Hope that this helps

Dear TeamromanChangdoll_007,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

An extended tummy tuck would do well for you. Please don't try to have the butt of your black model. That is NOT NORMAL and looks bad.  Liposuction of your flank areas while help emphasize your buttock shape nicely.

TeamromanChangdoll_007, Thanks for taking the time to ask a question on the realself platform! We are answering from down the street in Tampa, Fl! Based off of these photographs, you will be an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck. During the procedure, a board-certified plastic surgeon will remove excess fat and skin and restores weakened or separated muscles creating an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer. During this procedure they should also be able to contour your sides to enhance your natural curves and "snatch the waist." I see you included breast photos- you would be able to achieve that look with implants. If you have any further questions, we are happy to help! Wishing you lots of health and happiness in this exciting journey! Dr. Eric Khairalla and the team at bodze!

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.
