Is a tummy tuck possible if I weigh 260lbs? (Photos)

If you have seriously tried various diet and weight loss programs without much success, you can perhaps consider bariatric weight loss surgery, and then have body contouring procedures once your weight loss stabilizes.  However, even if you don't choose that route, it is possible to have a combination of liposuction and excisional body contouring such as an extended tummy tuck to remove a lot of the excess skin and fat that is overhanging your trunk.  Getting rid of this loose, hanging tissue will make it easier for you to exercise in the future.  However, remember that results would be better and the surgery safer if you could lose some weight before surgery.  Good luck

Hello 
For optimal results I recommend you loose weight first your bmi should be less than 30 for elective procedures and then do a
tummy tuck combined with a full body contouring. I would suggest
liposuction on your  back and flanks.  I recommend you to consult with a
board certified plastic surgeon and coordinate with him or her which
procedures will fit your needs.

Thank you for the question and picture.  Generally speaking, it is always best to achieve long-term stable weight prior to proceeding with  body contouring surgery. Doing so, will increase the safety of the operation, will likely improve the outcome of the operation, and will decrease chances that additional surgery will become necessary subsequently. In my practice, I do not ask specific patients to achieve a specific weight prior to proceeding with tummy tuck surgery. I simply ask patients to achieve a long-term stable weight where he/she feels comfortable and does not expect significant fluctuation postoperatively.  
 Having said the above,  occasional patients do benefit from panniculectomy surgery as a “jumpstart” to achieving their final goals. The panniculectomy operation involves excision of the lower abdominal wall pannus or  overhanging skin/adipose tissue. It is not considered an  aesthetically driven procedure;  it is often performed to help with concerns such as skin breakdown, infections/rashes…
Best wishes.
