Do I need a tummy tuck or is there a non-invasive procedure to tighten up my skin in the middle of my tummy? (photos)

Based on your photos, you look like a great candidate for a tummy tuck, muscle repair and liposuction 360. A full tummy tuck would remove excess skin and fat to give you that hourglass figure you desire. Discuss your options with a board certified plastic surgeon.

From your photos your concerns would be best addressed by a full tummy tuck with liposuction for contouring. This would address loose skin and fat in front of the abdominal wall. Any muscle separation can be corrected as well. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Hello! Your photos indicate that there is skin laxity, excess volume, and outpoutching of the abdominal wall - all that suggest that you would benefit from a full TT. Please do waste your hard-earned money on non-invasive and minimally effective procedures. A Full TT will release the skin above your belly button and allow for abdominal wall tightening from the upper abdomen to the pubis. It is going to give you the most mid-abdominal tightening. It also allows the upper abdominal skin to be pulled down and consequently the lower abdominal skin is maximally removed. Best of luck!

Hi! There are many none-invasive procedures or products that help tighten the skin. Some of these work, but not on all patients. Most patients that need a Tummy Tuck, will not get good results with these procedures.
A TT is the only procedure that helps gets rid of excess skin and fat, while tightening the abdominal wall with muscle repair. Unfortunately you have all of these issues. This means you need tummy tuck to have meaningful results.
Please don’t fall for gimmicks. It will be a wast of your time and money.

If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight.
