Answer: My belly hangs really low, and I wanted to know if there is anything I can do to get rid of it? (Photo) Thank you for your question and photograph. I would recommend you follow a healthy diet and exercise regimen until you reach your desired goal weight. This weight should be one where you are comfortable at, and can maintain, as weight fluctuations will affect your long-term results. Any weight loss before surgery will not only be in your best interest from a safety point of view, but also in obtaining the best cosmetic results. Once at your weight I think you would most likely benefit from a full tummy tuck with additional liposuction for the best results.

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!
