What type of tummy tuck do I need? (Photo)

hello,
With the Extended Tummy Tuck , the surgeon will remove skin and tissue more laterally (at the hip bone). This has the beneficial affect of lifting and slenderizing the outer thigh. I perform a lot of Extended Tummy Tucks in my practice.

IMO, you can't really go wrong with the Extended Tummy Tuck.
It does cost more , mainly because it takes a little more time in the Operating Room, but it does produce the leanest profile.

However, either TT version is going to give you a dramatic improvement in your abdomen profile. Thank you for your question.

cheers,

"Thank you for sharing your question and pictures. It's challenging to give precise recommendations without a side picture and a personal consultation. However, based on your front picture and considering your height and history of having large babies, an extended tummy tuck might indeed offer more comprehensive contouring and potentially yield better results in your case. It's crucial to have open discussions with your surgeon about your expectations and concerns, and consider seeking multiple professional opinions to make the most informed decision.
