i have been left with a lot of excess skin around my stomach would a mini tummy tuck be the answer?
Q. hi could you please help? a few years ago i became very very poorly and was treated with a very high dose of steriods which caused me to put on a lot of weight i am now down to a very low dose and i have lost the weight but i have been left with a lot of excess skin around my stomach would a mini tummy tuck be the answer? as i am only 38 and no children and this has left me very self conscious about my body
A. Thank you for your inquiry. It is important to understand what is the underlying condition, and whether more extensive surgery in safe for you. In general terms, the answer may be: - a combination of mini abdominoplasty (mini tummy tuck) with liposuction to the abdomen and flanks, – simple mini abdominoplasty if the problem is relatively minor – simple liposuction with radiofrequency assisted technique (Bodytite) which has the ability to add tightening effect to the treated tissues – and full abdominoplasty, possibly with liposuction to the flanks if the problem is more significant You would need to have a consultation to be able to evaluate the skin characteristics, volume affected tissue excess, as well as condition of the underlying abdominal wall, in order to get customised advice.
