I have read about and seen photos on here and other sites of women who were still overweight who had tummy tucks before getting to goal weight. I have lost 90 lbs and have 50 to go to ideal weight, but my large heavy stomach makes exercise very painful and I have to wear compression garmets for sports or the gym. Wondering if this is something to consider for me? I am in Ottawa Canada but willing to travel. Would like estimates and thoughts.

Answer: Plus size tummy tuck! Hello shrinkingbeast. Based on your photos you certainly could be a candidate for a full tummy tuck. Without a full history - to asses your overall health status and an exam, I cannot fully recommend TT surgery online. However, I have done tummy tucks on individuals with similar anatomy if we based it solely on your photos and achieved reasonable outcomes. Being overweight can increase your risks with any surgery, including with tummy tuck operations. You can see photos of patients with similar anatomy on my website. I like to perform the lowest incision possible which makes it better for patients to enjoy their TT result sooner. I always recommend patients consider having surgery of this type at a stable weight. In Scottsdale, we have a large number of Canadians who visit for plastic surgery throughout the year. We are always at your service. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo.

Answer: Is plus size tummy tuck an option? Greetings. Congratulations on your continued weight loss. There is a higher risk of complications with being overweight. Ideally, the additional weight loss would be beneficial to your overall result as well lower the risk of complications. Also, a plastic surgeon could examine you and discuss what is the appropriate treatment plan for your particular situation. Good luck!
