Many quotes and recommendations are getting me confused. What do I need for better appearance; After losing 60lbs. I already know about arm and breast lift. I just need good results, not seeking a magic. Thanks in advance.

Answer: Do I need an extended tummy tuck or CTT? Hello and thank you for your question and sharing your photos. Based on these photos, you benefit from a tummy tuck and 360 liposuction of your abdomen and flanks. During tummy tuck, extra skin in the lower half of your abdomen including the stretch marks will be removed. In addition, typically the fascial laxity/separation of recti muscles will be taken care of by muscle plication, giving you a flat abdomen. Liposuction of the flanks will narrow down the waist for an hourglass appearance. Incision can be placed very low to be hidden under bikini. With proper surgical technique, belly button can be designed to be a true 'innie'. Recovery from tummy tuck is 1-2 weeks. Strenuous activity and lifting heavy weights should be avoided 6 weeks to 3 months post op. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice. Best, Pejman Aflaki, M.D. Johns Hopkins-trained double board-certified plastic surgeon
