I have lost 50 pounds so far, and I am planning on another 40-50, when is the ideal time to consult on a tummy tuck? (photos)

Hello and thank you for your question. Congratulations on your weight loss so far.  Based on your
photograph, you will be a great candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction after your weight is stable.  This can be done through a low incision, all completely below the bikini line. 
The belly button can be designed to look natural and have no scars on
the exterior.   Your muscles can also be
plicated resulting in a flat abdomen. 
Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of
real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate
their results.  The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are
comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified
board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Hello,Congratulations on your weight loss. Awesome job. Now is a good time to get a consult. You will get information on the surgery and be able to make your decision about which type of tummy tuck is best for you. I typically advise my patients to be within 15 pounds of their goal weight prior to tummy tuck so that you don't get the procedure, then lose more weight and wish you could have more skin removed. All the best in your journey,Dr. BlaggAustin, TX
