FDL or extended tummy tuck? (Photo)

Question

What procedure(s) do I need and which can be done in some combo over a couple of rounds? Should I do an extended tummy tuck and braline back lift together or a fdl and maybe arm lift together? Which type of tummy tuck will yield me good results? I had a tummy tuck years ago but was still left with skin and then I had another child. Want to get it right this time in as few surgeries as possible.

You'll need a FDL abdominoplasty.  The incision will need to be extended onto the flanks to get the right contour as well.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Based on your photos you can consider an extended tummy tuck with liposuction for contouring or perhaps a circumferential tummy tuck.  After recovery you can then address the upper back and arms.  Begin by visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation.

The fdl tummy tuck is almost never appropriate. The vertical skin excision will not do much other than leave you with an extra scar. Standard full tummy tuck with lipo of the hips

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

I would suggest starting with the exteneded tummy tuck. Once healed, then you could address your back area with surgery.

Nicely posted photos... If you are ok with a few operatuve sessions. I would do extended TT with possible brachioplasty first (depending on your preop blood count and blood loss during the operation). Then after 3-6 months bilateral back wing reduction with liposuction in areas or brachioplasty/arm lift. Exoect total fees in the $30,000 ranges. Best to virtual consult with...
