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?
Answer: Full tummy tuck likely enough. Thank you for your photos. Congratulations on your weight loss and future plans to maintain that. From your photos, it appears that a regular/full tummy tuck will adequately address all of the loose skin on the front of your abdomen, as well as repairing your muscles to flatten the foundation of your stomach, to give you the best contour. From your photographs, I do not see any localized fat deposits that would require any liposuction, ie you have taken care of that with your weight loss. Have a detailed consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon about your best way forward. Best wishes.

Answer: Tummy Tuck + liposuction vs. Extended IMHO you will benefit most from an extended tummy tuck hat will address the redundant skin in your flanks. Liposuction of this area will increase the amount of flaccidity. Good luck, Doc PG

Answer: Tummy tuck Male tummy tucks differ substantially from female because we, as men have different body shapes. The male torso should be straight from the chest down into the hips versus the female should be concave and the waist and convex at the hips. Based on your pictures, you have a significant amount of loose skin as well as a significant muscle separation (diastasis). I would recommend a conventional tummy tuck with muscle tightening, and some spot liposuction to address some localized fat deposits.

Based on your history of weight fluctuations and the presence of loose skin and abdominal separation, you are an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck. Given the amount of stretch marks and excess skin you have, a tummy tuck will provide the most effective and lasting results.

Answer: TT Thanks for your question! Because of the amount of skin laxity you have, I absolutely think a tummy tuck is in your future. I do think a standard or full tummy tuck would be sufficient. Good luck!
