I am 30 female 5‘10“ tall . in 2021 I was 190 pounds early 2023 I was 140 pounds now I weigh 160 pounds. I feel strong and healthy the exercise and diet. Will not rid me all of this extra skin around my body mainly my abdomen. When I pull it all up it looks like I would benefit from a reverse tummy tuck. I don’t want this weight reminder that I used to be fat. Tried coolsculpting but I want skin to my tighter. How much do you think it would cost?
Answer: Procedure to remove excess abdominal skin Hello, the majority of my patients with loose skin on the abdomen that does not improve with non-surgical treatments, will choose to have a regular tummy tuck. This operation allows me to make the incision low in the pubic region and remove any redundant skin there. If you pull up on your abdominal skin (like in the posted photos) you might notice this pulls the hair-bearing pubic mound skin higher on the abdomen. Most of my patients don't like this look, so I remove excess pubic skin during the operation. The resulting scar is typically hidden by undergarments.

Answer: Tummy tuck w/Liposuction Thank you for your questions and photos. From your photos, you would be a good candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction. A tummy tuck will address excess skin & repair of the abdominal 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. Liposuction will remove excess fat from unwanted areas with some skin retraction. 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: Abdomen Reverse tummy tucks do not always work well and sometimes just pull your breast down even lower. A tummy tuck might be the best option to remove excess skin. You could also get improvement with minimally invasive skin tightening like Renuvion.

Answer: You are an excellent candidate for a standard, full abdominoplasty. Thank you for your photographs and congratulations on your stable, weight loss. From your photographs, it appears that you would benefit from a standard full abdominoplasty. This should tighten your abdominal skin, and remove the laxity you are unhappy with. An abdominoplasty will also place your incision line low on your abdomen, in an area where it is easily hidden by underwear or bathing suits. A reverse abdominoplasty is frequently done only for people who have been massively obese and have remaining loose skin of their upper abdomen after a regular abdominoplasty. The scar for a reverse, abdominoplasty runs in the fold underneath each breast, and then between the breast. It is much more visible and difficult to hide. Speak at length in a detailed consultation with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.
