RxNY in 2013, open abdominal revision in 2020. Pre surgery weight 280, current weight 135. I have loose skin on almost every part of my body but my first focus is my abdomen and back. Will a tummy tuck be sufficient to address the skin on my back? Would another procedure be more appropriate? Do I need two surgeries to address both?

Answer: Considering procedures Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! Though an in person examination is preferred you photos indicate that you will benefit from a fleur de list tummy tuck to address the abdomen. You will likely need a separate procedure to address the loose skin on the back. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to learn more.

Answer: Will a tummy tuck be sufficient to address the skin on my back? Do I need two surgeries to address my abdomen and back? Hello @Neat503222, thank you for your question. It is imperative to perform a surgical plan in which a number of aspects are taken into account. This will enable us to determine if it is possible to carry out both procedures. It is the criterion of the treating physician, when carrying out the face-to-face consultation and obtaining the clinical tests, that helps him to assess whether it is convenient to conduct both processes or not. I would encourage you to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. During your consultation, your surgeon will be able to assess your unique needs and develop a treatment plan that is right for you. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Tummy tuck Hi, thank you for sharing your question. A tummy tuck will not address any loose skin on your back. If there is significant skin laxity in the back, a second procedure may be needed. Discuss the options with your plastic surgeon after your evaluation.
