Hi! I am considering getting a BBL done but was told a tummy tuck would benefit me also. I do not want a tummy tuck, but I was told that removing fat from my abdomen may result in hanging skin. I am okay with just removing fat from my flanks and other areas.
Answer: BBL Thank you for your question & photos! Based on your photos, you could get good results with liposuction. Liposuction will remove excess fat with some retraction of skin. A tummy tuck will address excess skin & repair of muscle. The abdominal wall can be weakened after pregnancy and (or) significant weight gain & loss. By repairing the muscle, not only does the appearance of your abdominal area improve, but your core strength as well. The repair of the muscle will cinch your waist like an inner corset, which will accentuate your curves. Your expectations and health will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals. Best of luck!

Answer: Do I need a tummy tuck? I am considering getting a BBL done but was told a tummy tuck would benefit me also. Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Unfortunately without knowing more of your full medical history and future desires for children, it is difficult to render advice on a tummy tuck. As it is an elective procedure you do not need to have it performed now, but you can revisit the option in the future after your BBL.

Answer: Considering procedures If you are not interested in having a tummy tuck, then do not have one. Elective plastic surgery is to help you feel and look your best. If the abdominal area does not concern you, then there is no need to address it. A tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin and repairs abdominal wall laxity. For women it is not recommended unless they have finished having children.

Answer: Doesnt look like it There are some nice surgical options for improving the abdominal area including a full tummy tuck (which is the most dramatic option), a mini tummy tuck and liposuction. There are also some nonsurgical options such as laser treatments and injections. I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area that is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and performs a lot of tummy tucks and liposuction. Good luck with your future correction!I hope my answer helps and if it does, please take a moment to up vote this answer on the “respond” button on the top right. Have a great day.

(photo) More about You may be able to avoid the TT, but this will depend upon your exam and the precision with which the liposuction is performed. How flat the abdomen will be will depend upon how much fat is removed from the area as well as how you heal. The thinner patient requires an expert at liposuction to remove as much fat as possible while leaving the skin smooth. There are a lot of women who can get nice results despite thinking that there is not enough fat.
