I’m 39 years old and, over the last couple of years, lost about 60 pounds. I was scheduled for a second round BBL — partially to remove a fat pocket left behind during my first round — when a couple of weeks out, my surgeon told me that he didn’t think that procedure was going to give me the results I wanted and suggested adding a tummy tuck. I’m now days away from the surgery and am feeling serious anxiety about the surgery, recovery and scarring. Am I doing the right thing?

Answer: Tummy tuck Dear MsNewBootyAfterBBL, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Tummy tuck From your photos it appears you are a good candidate for a tummy tuck. It will remove excess skin and fat as well as correct abdominal wall laxity. The result will be a flatter, tighter tummy. There are scars, though they tend to heal well for most patients. There is recovery involved but most say that it was worth it. However no one but you can decide if this procedure is right for you.
