I am planning for complete abdominoplasty. Is it a permanent correction? (Photo)

Yes, an abdominoplasty is a permanent correction. It appears you would benefit from a tummy tuck. I recommend an abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more flatten abdomen by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight.

Best Wishes,

Thank you for your question regarding the longevity of an abdominoplasty. Thank you for your history, and thank you for your pictures. Yes, the best procedure for you would be a complete abdominoplasty. During a complete abdominoplasty, excess skin and fat from the top of the pubic region to above the belly button are permanently removed. The belly button is reestablished to a more anatomic position, and the rectus abdominis muscle is sutured to flatten your abdomen on profile. Also, excess skin and fat in the pubic region are eliminated. It would be ideal to lose more weight before the procedure, but I think you can embark upon a tummy tuck. You are correct that a complete abdominoplasty is better for you than liposuction. Liposuction alone would leave you with loose hanging skin, which would not be optimal. Therefore, I agree you need a complete abdominoplasty. Good Luck. Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

A full abdominoplasty comprehensively removes skin and fat from the entire abdomen. If coupled with strategic liposuction of your flanks and back, it will help provide a more “V” tapered silhoutte as well as address the appearance of your protruding abdomen.
As for having permanent results, your results will remain permanent granted you remain within 5-10 pounds of your post operative weight. I generally recommend my patients to be within 5-`10 lbs of their goal weight for a period of 3 months in order to have optimal outcomes in the long-term.
