Answer: Tummy Tuck and Weight Loss Thank you for your question and photos. I believe it is best to be within 5-10 pounds of your ideal body weight prior to surgery for optimal results. I would consult with your primary care physician to develop a safe and effective weight loss plan prior to proceeding with plastic surgery. Also, make sure you are finished having children prior to tummy tuck surgery as pregnancy will adversely effect your results. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person examination who specializes in body contouring. Ask to see before and after pictures of their work. Hope this helps and good luck!

Answer: Excess abdominal skin Thank you for your question and photo. From what I can see on the photo, you have excess skin and fat throughout your trunk. Best to lose weight to get close to your ideal body weight. This will reduce the amount of fat in your abdomen, but will probably make your lose skin worse. At some point, you will be a candidate for a tummy tuck to remove the excess hanging skin. Best wishes.
