I'm approaching my goal weight and envisaging a tummy tuck, when I was heavier I had a lot of fat stored under my breasts, now the area is flappy and saggy, will a tummy tuck also tighten that area?

Answer: Areas of improvement after TT You are a wonderful candidate for Full Tummy Tuck and muscle repair, mons lift and a little liposuction to waist. The skin undermining during the Tummy tuck is limited and internally is a triangle with the vertex right under the xiphoid bone under the ribs. No undermining over the ribs and either towards the lateral chest. So the skin tightening will NOT impact the areas of your concern (lateral superior abdomen and either lateral torso). If you have significan saggy skin you will need skin tightening procedure. Liposuction will only make skin saggier. Be encouraged!! Will look wonderful after the Tummy tuck. Dr. Cárdenas

Answer: Tummy tuck Dear Good5567, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. 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.
