Do I have too much abdominal fat for a tummy tuck? (Photo)

Hooray you!! Do you Tummy tuck ASAP... it will help with weight loss usually. Get rid of the extra skin and you will get started on a your better version of you journey faster than trying to loose more weight. Focus on diet and exercise as you look for board certified plastic surgeons experienced in tummy tuck surgery. You are on your way! All the best!!

It looks like you are a good candidate for the tummy tuck procedure. Liposuction combined with a tummy tuck will help get rid of some of your remaining fat. If you wait until you reach your ideal weight, you will have a better result with a smaller waistline.

It appears that you are a good candidate for a tummy tuck. It is debatable as to the need to wait until you have reached you goal weight. Seek a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can explain your options and anticipated outcomes after performing a good physical examination.

Congratulations on the weight loss. Did you have recent arm lift? yes, you are a candidate for a tummy tuck and also breast lift and implants. We often do this at the same time. You do have several pounds of extra skin that will be removed with the tummy tuck. You do not need to drop your weight any further. In fact, it is good to have some fat reserves going into surgery. You can always drop some weight after surgery and that will not be a problem (you will not get loose skin of your abdomen again). There are major differences in how surgeons perform this surgery, so be sure to do your due diligence.

Thanks for your question. From your pictures, you seem to be a good candidate for a tummy tuck. I recommend scheduling a consult for a proper evaluation. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Dr. Moises Salama, board certified plastic surgeon.

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,

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

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.

You are a good candidate for a tummy tuck. In order to remove the fat of your upper abdomen, liposuction would be required. I would also tighten your abdominal muscles. Realize you will have a long low horizontal in your lower abdomen.

It is wonderful what you have achieved after losing all that weight!!! Congratulations!!
You have developed a very important excess of skin on your abdomen, sides of abdomen and the back area. And not only an excess of length (the skin on the bottom of your abdomen) but also excess of width (wrinkly skin above belly button) so the regular Tummy Tuck will not fix’s all the excess of skin you have. You are indeed an great candidate for a Lower Body lift Fleur de Lis, buttocks lift, some liposuction and fat grafting to rejuvenate your body, you are very young and after doing the correct procedure you will be looking awesome: flat abdomen, tapered waist, flat mons, beautiful curvaceous body shape!!
Look for a Board certified PS with lots of experience in After weight loss surgery.
