Can a Tummy Tuck Repair This?

Far more important than deciding if TT is for you is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let him explain why one technique may be better than another and if you need a tummy tuck. Many board certified plastic surgeons provide a free first time consult and you should take advantage of that! See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for you!

Abdominoplasty with Mesh Reinforcement is a new technique that mechanically strengthens the abdominal wall with the use of mesh.  There are several articles published recently in Plastic and Reconstructive Journal describing this technique.  The advantage of this technique is that it helps reduce weight and maintain the reduced weight.  Certainly, you do not want to regain the 85 lbs you lost.  This technique provides the advantage of removing the hanging skin and reinforce your abdominal wall to prevent you from regaining weight.

I would wait a few more months then consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to understand which combination or variation of tummy tuck you will need to achieve the best results.
