I am 42, 142 lbs, 5’5” and have a 5&7 year old. I’m ready to pull the trigger on a TT after having always struggled with carrying weight here but want to make sure it doesn’t look visceral and I’ll get fantastic results if I go through this. I have consultations set up but wanted additional thoughts. TIA!
Answer: Is a Tummy Tuck Right For You? Thank you for your question regarding whether you would benefit from a tummy tuck. By examining your pictures, you have excess skin and fat of your lower abdomen. Fortunately, you do not have much visceral fat. In my opinion, you would get an excellent result from a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty. During your tummy tuck, an incision would be made low on your abdomen and tissue dissection would be made up to your sternum. Your rectus abdominus muscle should be plicated to get you a nice, flat abdomen. The excess skin and fat from your pubic region to above your belly button will be removed, then the skin from the top of the belly button will be pulled down to the pubic region, resulting in a nice, flat tummy. You will also get a pubic lift and a better-shaped belly button out of the tummy tuck procedure. I would also suggest you do some liposuction of the love handles or superior iliac crest at the same time. The procedure should be performed under general anesthesia and should take approximately 3-4 hours to complete depending on the efficiency of your plastic surgeon. Please plan for a 2-week recovery. It will be important for you to wear your compression garment for about 2-3 weeks after surgery. Best of luck.

Answer: Considering tummy tuck From your photos you appear to be a great candidate for a tummy tuck and should have significant improvement in the contour of your abdomen! You could consider adding liposuction to enhance your results. You can expect the procedure to remove excess skin and fat as well as correct abdominal wall laxity. The result will be a flatter, tighter tummy.

Answer: Tummy tuck with mesh If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight.
