Which is the best tummy tuck procedure?

The best tummy tuck procedure is the one that will correct your particular contour problems. It is important that you schedule a consultation or consultations with a board-certified plastic surgeon(s) to discuss the procedural option(s) that best suite you. Best of luck!

There is no one best procedure. There are a
variety of surgical procedures or combinations that can produce good results in patients with abdominal laxity, depending on multiple factors
including their anatomy and degree of desired improvement: A mini tummy tuck,
an umbilical float modified tummy tuck, a full abdominoplasty. Each of these
can be performed with or without liposuction and with or without abdominal
muscle repair. They produce different degrees of improvement. No matter which procedure that you decide to undergo, it
is advisable that you should wait until you are finished having children.  Following the advice of anyone who would presume to tell
you what to do without seeing photos and without taking a full medical
history, examining you, feeling and assessing your tissue tone, discussing your
desired outcome and fully informing you about the pros and cons of each option
would not be in your best interest. Find a plastic surgeon that you are
comfortable with and one that you trust and listen to his or her advice. The
surgeon should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you can locate through the Smart Beauty Guide. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, California
