5’7 190 lbs. Tummy tuck - do I need to loose weight first? Can I expect a flat stomach after? (Photos)

Thank you for your question and photos. Your BMI is 29, you are a good candidate for VASER liposuction 360 degrees (full abdomen, pubic area, full back, waist, hips, lateral chest wall and rib cage) with a full tummy tuck. See a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Thanks for your question! I do think you would be a good candidate for both procedures. If you can lose a little bit more weight, it will help flatten your belly. However, if this is your normal weight, you will still get a good result here. Best of luck!

Generally speaking you are a candidate for the tummy tuck. However to give your surgeon the opportunity to optimize your results it's best to be as close to your idea body weight as possible. This will also help with visceral fat (the fat around your organs) which is not impacted by a tummy tuck or liposuction. The procedure will remove excess subcutaneous fat and skin as well as correct abdominal wall laxity. The result will be a flatter, tighter tummy. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

Good morning. You are an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck combined with liposuction of the flanks and back. This procedure will remove excess skin and fat and tighten your abdominal muscles, resulting in a much flatter and more defined abdomen, even after your previous surgeries.

Although losing a few pounds further improves the result, it is not strictly necessary. With surgery, we can transform your body contour in a safe and personalized way. I would love to accompany you through this process so you can achieve the abdomen and figure you desire. If you would like, we can schedule a consultation to answer your questions and plan your surgery. Please contact us at 829-554-6062.
