I am 33 years old, and recently lost over 70 lbs. I am close to my ideal weight. I am 5’4” and last weighed in at 137 lbs. I have quite a bit of loose skin in my tummy, but also I have always carried most of my weight in my midsection, and still have some excess fat there. Waist measurement is about 32 inches. Am I a candidate for a tummy tuck? My goal weight is 125 lbs but even once I get to that weight I will still have excess fat in my midsection.

Answer: The Best Option For You! Hello,You have sagging in the lower abdomen and severe stretch marks extending to the upper abdomen. With lipoabdominoplasty, very good results can be achieved. Additionally, Vaser liposuction performed on the waist and back area during the same session would create a 360° contouring effect.

Answer: You are an excellent candidate for Tummy Tuck Hello, I specialize in outpatient abdominoplasty after weight loss, and in looking at your pictures feel that you are an excellent candidate for surgery. I always perform liposuction simultaneously with tummy tucks and would be able to contour your mid abdominal fatty tissue and sides at the same time as the the surgery. Please feel free to contact my office for a free virtual consultation. As an aside, Breast lift procedures can also be performed at the same time as abdominoplasty (and would it would still be an outpatient procedure) All my best, Daniel A. Medalie, MD

Answer: Tummy tuck I believe that an abdominoplasty procedure would be of benefit for your condition. I would separate the procedures by performing the tummy tuck first with liposuction of the anterior flanks to create waist definition. As the lower incision disrupts the lower blood supply, I would not liposuction the upper abdomen at the same time as this could delay healing the incision of the tummy tuck.i typically suction the upper abdomen and back when I do the breast lift or arm lift portion of the procedure.Hope this helps

Answer: Tummy Tuck Thank you for your question. A tummy tuck is a great option to remove the excess loose skin and fat in your midsection and tighten the abdominal muscles, giving you a flatter and more contoured appearance. However, since you're still working toward your goal weight of 125 lbs, it’s often recommended to complete your weight loss journey before the surgery, as continuing to lose weight after surgery might affect the final result, potentially leading to additional loose skin or changes in your abdominal shape.
