All the makings of a great tummy tuck

From your photos I would say that you are an ideal candidate for tummy tuck. You have a frowning belly button with extra fat and skin above, with a crease of skin and fat below it.

You do not have particularly large hips or thighs, and your upper waistline has a nice curve to it. All of these observations support an excellent result from tummy tuck. (John Cassel, MD, Miami Plastic Surgeon)

You could be an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck. It is ideal to be as close to your ideal weight as possible prior to tummy took surgery.

A tummy tuck is a body countering surgery, not a weight loss surgery.

After a tummy tuck, many women who thought they would never wear a bikini again are thrilled to do so. Look at lots of hoots and do a lot of research before selecting a surgeon. Look for consistently wonderful results in photos with no visible scars around the belly button (Michael Law, MD, )

Tummy Tuck Candidate

Yes, you appear to be a good candidate for a tummy tuck. Based on your pictures, there is no other procedure or treatment that could tighten your skin or make an appreciable difference in your appearance.

Only a tummy tuck would remove the loose skin and tighten your muscles and make a dramatic difference in your body shape.(David Shafer, MD, New York Plastic Surgeon)

You are a great candidate for a tummy tuck and will be even a better one after weight loss. Weight loss after a tummy tuck might adversely affect your result so lose the weight first. I might add that the same thing appplies to breast surgery. (Frederic H. Corbin, MD, Brea Plastic Surgeon)

Timing of mommy makeover tummy tuck

There seems little question from the pictures that a tummy tuck is going to be your best option. With weight loss we usually recommend that your Body Mass Index (BMI) be less than 30 for surgery to be done safely; yours is 28 so it is reasonable to consider having your mommy makeover assuming there are no other issues. Breast surgery is commonly done at the same time. (Richard Baxter, MD, Seattle Plastic Surgeon)

Based on your photos it appears that you need a tummy tuck; you will not be able to correct your abdomen any other way. From your expressed interest in breast surgery as well, it seems that you need a Mommy- makeover. If you want to lose more weight I would suggest doing so before you undergo surgery. You should consult with a Board Certified PS if you are seriously considering the above surgery(ies). (George Lefkovits, MD, New York Plastic Surgeon)

A full tummy tuck should give you a nice result if done properly by an experienced plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, experienced, and has an excellent reputation in your community.It is best to be as close as possible to the final weight you want to be because if you lose weight after your tummy tuck the skin will become loose again. (Brooke R. Seckel, MD, FACS, Boston Plastic Surgeon)

Tummy Tuck Candidate?

Yes, you are absolutely a good candidate for an abdominoplasty, assuming your are in good health without uncontrolled medical problems. An abdominoplasty would remove excess fat and skin which would be virtually impossible with any other modality. Diet and exercise are great lifestyles but you don’t have to lose more weight to be a good candidate for the abdominoplasty and/or breast lift. With pregnancies, the rectus muscles (supporting muscles of abdomen) diverge causing the internal contents of the abdomen to bulge forward, like a hernia. Some insurance companies will cover some of the charges related to the rectus muscle repair. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon (George C. Peck, Jr, MD, West Orange Plastic Surgeon)
