I am 38 and have had 4 c-sections. I have a thyroid issue that I take meds for. I work out 3 days a week doing a crossfit bootcamp. I have been on numerous supervised weight loss diets, gyms with paid trainers and excercise programs. My goal isn't so much to lose a massive amount of weight but to feel more comfortable with myself due to the significant amount of skin that hangs over my vagina.
Answer: Tummy Tuck (Body Contouring) for Significantly Overweight Adult 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

Answer: Is a tummy tuck possible if I weigh 260lbs? 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.

Answer: Is a tummy tuck possible if I weigh 260lbs? Most plastic surgeons suggest that you get your weight within 10 pounds of your ideal weight, and have a BMI less than 30 before undergoing an abdominoplasty with repair of the stretched out abdominal muscles and liposuction of selective areas, in order to achieve the best long term cosmetic result with the least potential complications.
