5'7, 145lbs, is tummy tuck plus liposuction enough? Is extended necessary? (Photos)

December 15, 2023

Hello! I'm ~ 5'7 and ~145 pounds (~23 bmi). My weight has fluctuated significantly since childhood, resulting in a good amount of loose skin and abdominal separation. I still need to improve my body composition and address digestive issues before getting a TT. It'll also take a few years to save up for a TT (also gives me a chance to maintain weight for longer). Would an extended tummy tuck be needed? Or would tummy tuck + Vaser liposuction + (maybe) emsculpt be enough?
