I did some research on the tummy tuck and lipo procedure and was curious as to any alternative methods. The most common one that I found was the underbelly and having to stretch the skin downwards; doing this would result in my stomach tattoo stretching down wards and a belly button in the middle of my tattoo. Would pulling the skin upwards be a possibility? Or is there another option that is best when avoiding the distortion or change in my tattoo? Thank you!

Answer: Tummy tuck You are an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck. I have performed them on women with tattoos. If need be a tattoo artist can tidy things up or camouflage any issues with the tatoo at a later time.

Answer: Tummy tuck candidate Dear NoobBoob, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. There is a chance that tummy tuck will affect your tattoo. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
