35 years old, have had 3 c sections, and have lost over 120 pounds l, with 20 more to go. I am saving money to pay all cash for a mommy makeover (breast lift and a standard tummy tuck) since it’s more affordable than with an ETT. I also plan to get implants, then arm lift and bra line back lift after the MMO. Will I be happy with just a standard TT? Will the breast lift, implants, (standard) arm lift, and bra line lift get rid of this skin on my sides/underarms? Can I have an hourglass shape?

Answer: Tummy tuck Dear Bluedreamer88, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Standard TT Thanks for your question! I can't tell from the photos if I think a full or extended tummy tuck is necessary. However, I would definitely recommend liposuction to the flank area to help give you more of an hourglass shape. I would recommend doing that in conjunction with the tummy tuck. Good luck!

Answer: Standard Tummy Tuck VS Extended Tummy Tuck Thank you for your question. Based on your pictures and goals, an extended tummy tuck might offer better results than a standard tummy tuck for achieving an hourglass shape. It addresses excess skin not just in the abdomen but also on the flanks and lower back. While a standard tummy tuck combined with other procedures like breast lift, implants, and arm lift will improve your body contour, the extended version could be more effective for comprehensive shaping. It's important to discuss with a plastic surgeon to determine the best approach for your body.
