My surgeon recommended a tummy tuck combo. I plan on still losing 15-20 lbs to be at my ideal weight so I am not interested in getting multiple surgeries at once. I’m interested in J-plasma to tighten my skin. Just need recommendations if it would work on me or will I need to get a tummy tuck.
Answer: Tummy tuck A tummy tuck is the procedure you need. It will remove all of the extra skin from the abdomen as well as tighten the muscles under the skin.I hope this helps.

Answer: Full Tummy Tuck After reviewing your photo, I would recommend a Full tummy tuck combined with liposuction. A full tummy tuck corrects the aftermath of pregnancy:1. The separation of the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) is repaired to reduce the bulge2. The loose skin is tightened3. Fat deposits can be reduced with liposuctionLiposuction alone would not correct the bulge due to the muscle separation or the loose skin and would, in all likelihood, lead to a disappointing result for you. Generally, a tummy tuck is recommended for women after having their last child. I recommend surgery 6 months after your last baby.The combination of tummy tuck and buttock augmentation has the advantage of a one stage procedure and makes use of fat which would normally be discarded. The problem is that during the recovery period for the tummy tuck you are not able to keep your weight off of your buttocks. Pressure on the fat grafts results in less of it lasting. For this reason, I generally advise doing it in 2 steps if possible. I will do both of the procedures in one stage if a small buttock augmentation is required, but I do let my patients know that they may need a second procedure if additional fat is required.I would recommend a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Answer: Tummy tuck candidate Dear Magic_doll_magic,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. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD
