Hello, Ria323. Thank you for your question regarding your "sad face" looking tummy.

It's hard to tell with these photos, but you appear to have excess skin on your abdomen. If you have excess skin, a tummy tuck with muscle plication is your best option. This procedure will tighten the muscles and remove the excess skin, providing a smoother and more toned appearance. Additionally, you could combine this with liposuction of the flanks to get optimal results and enhance your overall contour.

Liposuction alone could potentially lead to more excess skin, especially if there is already significant skin laxity. Therefore, a tummy tuck might be the most effective solution for achieving the results you desire.

I wish you the best on your journey to achieving your body goals!

Sincerely,

J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FASMBS, FICS

Thank you for the photo. A tummy tuck is the proper procedure- it removes the excess skin and fat, and tightens the separated abdominal muscles to address the bulge and restore the core.
