I have my consult next month but I’ve definitely seen a lot of results where women end up more square shaped. Just curious if you can tell by my body shape pre surgery? I’ve included some relaxed photos and some with the skin/fat pulled up so my natural waist can be seen better
Answer: Shape after Tummy Tuck Hello and thank you for the question and photos. You look like an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck, with a nice shape to your core muscles and skeletal shape. I see no reason why you would have a square shape following a tummy tuck. A tummy tuck should remove all of the excess skin and fat, and give you a nice flat abdomen with a good waistline. Be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon for the best results. Good luck.

Answer: Abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement 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.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Square Shape After a Tummy Tuck? You appear to be a good candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction for contouring. I offer my patients and optional waist enhancement procedure to give them a smaller waist. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn what options are available to you. Good luck.

Answer: Tummy tuck Hello and thank you for your question. If good technique is used, you will not have a square shape. Based on your photographs and skin laxity, you are a great candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction. This can be done through a low and short 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. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.
