Do I Have a Realistic Tummy Tuck Expectations? (photo)

   If the person in the postoperative photo is 20 lbs lighter than you are now (hard to say for both you and me), I would recommend losing that weight.  You must understand that without an exam and review of your pictures it is impossible to predict results.  Find the plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of tummy tucks each year and has the best chance of getting you to your goal.  Kenneth Hughes, MD

The after photo is someone else, I'm assuming...perhaps the result you are hoping for.  Anticipating abdominoplasty results are best done in person.  Feeling abdominal wall compliance is important, as is estimating skin elasticity, location of umbilicus, distribution of excess skin, bony anatomy, and other factors.  Really impossible to judge from the photo shown... sorry.

Your question can not be answered without seeing a photo of yourself. You can also schedule an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon for an actual consultation.

Best wishes,

I think without photos of you it is difficulty to give an answer to your questions.  Please post your photos for a more in depth answer.

The photos you show are good results and are achievable by most skilled and appropriately trained surgeons.  Without examining you, it is difficult to tell what kind of results you could achieve.  I agree that some photographs of you would help us give you additional advice.
