Who makes a good candidate for a tummy tuck?

Not sure: I use tummy tucks (witch hazel) to do several things: reduce skin and stretch marks, repair the muscle and create a waistline, improve contour and remove poor scars, etc. If any of these are you, then you are a potentially good candidate for a tummy tuck performed by a board certified plastic surgeon.

Normal weight: Ideal candidate for tummy tuck is a patient with normal weight, healthy in general, with excess fat and skin in the lower abdomen and who is done with having babies.

Healthy: The best candidates for surgery are already involved in a long-term diet and exercise routine. They are already at, or near, their goal weight, but need surgery to remove the excess skin, tighten muscles, and remove any stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond well to exercise. http://www.dassmd.com/tummy-tuck/index.html.

Ideal Patient: The “ideal” patient for tummy tuck surgery is one who has completed pregnancies, is psycho socially/emotionally/financially stable,  has an excellent social support system surrounding him/her,  is capable of arranging enough recovery time and who has reached a long-term stable weight.
 
i hope this helps.

Several things: The ideal candidate for a tummy tuck is a person who meets the following criteria: 1) good overall health 2) at their ideal stable body weight 3) has completed childbearing 4) has loose skin, or muscle stretch as a result of pregnancy or weight changes 5) does not smoke 6) is willing to commit to the lifestyle changes to maintain their new shape 7) has family support to assist with recovery.

Realistic expectatio: An individual who is near ideal body weight in good overall health with realistic expectations of correcting lax skin with or without underlying muscle separation is a good candidate. Please note this is not a weight reduction or fat loss procedure. Liposuction will supplement a tummy tuck and is not an alternative.
