Tummy tuck pictures before and after

Tummy tuck pictures before and after – Look for a narrow waist and NO SCARS AROUND BELLY BUTTON

It can be difficult to evaluate before and after photos. With tummy tuck pictures before and after, you are looking for the following 1) A beutiful, natural looking belly button with no scar 2) a narrow waist 3) a flat abdomen 4) scars that are low on the abdomen (not all scars can be low, but many can. – you should see examples of scars that re easily hidden in a bikini) 5) no fulness in upper abdomen.

You should be abale to see images from a front, side and oblique view, and you should be able to get a close look at scars and belly buttons.

Pictures should not be the only criteria you use when selecting a surgeon. But, tummy tuck pictures before and after can demonstrate the ability of a plastic surgeon to perform the procedure of interest to you with the results you would like. (Michael Law, MD, Raleigh-Durham Plastic Surgeon)

Don’t rely on before and after tummy tuck pictures alone

Your question relates not just to tummy tucks but the whole issue of what you can realistically learn from online before & after pictures. Like many other procedures, tummy tucks are individualized depending upon the patient’s needs, so there isn’t just a “cookie cutter” approach that works for everyone. Some have liposuction, some more tightening of the muscles because they were more widely separated (so more improvement in the waist), and so forth.

The appearance of the scar depends a lot on how long after surgery the photos were taken. It’s even mopre difficult with breast augmentation, so the bottom line is you can’t rely on the picture sets to predict you own result. What you can get a feeling for is the surgeon’s sense of aesthetics. If the results don’t look good, then why did the doctor think they were good enought to post? Ethically, we are supposed to show typical results, not just the very best, but typical results should be good. (Richard Baxter, MD, Seattle Plastic Surgeon)
