I was in a bad car accident when I was a child (over 30 years ago) and have a scar running down my abdomen for a bladder repair. I also have 3 other small incisions that where made at that time. Do I even have a chance for a tummy tuck or lipo? What are my options?

Answer: Abdominoplasty and previous scars Based on this picture, it appears that you have excess skin in the abdomen (above and below your navel). I don’t think liposuction alone is the answer for you. I would recommend an abdominoplasty with liposuction of your flank area to remove the excess skin and slim the waist line. Consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon and a detailed examination is a MUST to better assess the skin quality, scar location and rule out any other abnormalities of your abdominal wall.

Answer: Perfect for Tummy Tuck Based on your photos you have significant saggy skin above belly button, below belly button and most likely the mons pubic area is saggy as well. Your abdomen appears to be little protruding because your muscle is loose. Also have some fat on your waist and lovehandles. Your old scars are all below the belly button and all will be gone after the procedure. You will be perfec candidate for a Full Tummy Tuck with muscle repair to achieve a flat abdomen and tapered waist, mons lift, liposuction to waist and lovehandles and a bit of fat grafting to hips. Most likely you will need total reconstruction of the belly button which appears to be included in the scars. Be encouraged!! You will look astonishing after all. Dr. Cárdenas
