Tummy tuck
I would definitely recommend a tummy tuck for far superior contouring and a better long term result. A panniculectomy is only going to remove skin but a tummy tuck will remove skin and allow tightening of the stretched abdominal muscles (Christopher T. Maloney Jr., MD, Tucson Plastic Surgeon)
Would you do a Tummy Tuck or Panniculectomy on me after 139 lb. weight loss?
Absolutely do a full Tuimmy tuck on you now. Great job in the weight loss. Seek your surgeon to schedule you now. (Darryl J. Blinski, MD, Miami Plastic Surgeon)
Tummy tuck with tightening of the abdominal wall will likely produce a nice improvement for you. (Kenneth B. Hughes, MD, Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon)
Abdominoplasty after weight loss
You are a perfect candidate for abdominoplasty. Congratulations on losing all of that weight.
I regularly perform this surgery on patients who have lost significant weight, often with weight loss surgery.
Make sure you see a plastic surgeon who specializes in body contouring after weight loss. (Samer W. Cabbabe, MD, FACS, Saint Louis Plastic Surgeon)
