I do not recommend that a patient with a BMI of essentially 40 undergo tummy tuck. There are two main reasons:
The risks of surgery are significantly increased. This includes risks such as with anesthesia, bleeding, infection, wound healing problems, blood clots, and even death.
The result will be suboptimal. When someone is this obese, a tummy tuck will do little to improved the overall appearance.
On the other…

Bottom line: The implant manufacturer is NOT an important factor in attaining a good result. Much more important is selecting the right plastic surgeon who will be able to guide you through the process of choosing an appropriate…

I am assuming you are asking this question because you feel the implants are too small. Unfortunately this is not possible with silicone implants, and even with saline implants, the amount of extra volume that can be added is limited to approximately 50cc's (which is less than 2 ounces). Two points important points can be taken away from your question:
It is very important that prior to surgery, the size of implant is thoroughly…

In general, the timing of suture (stitch) removal is a balance between allowing the skin to heal sufficiently, but not allowing the sutures to make a (potentially) permanent mark on the skin. Face lift sutures that are visible may only be the 'top layer' of stitching. That means there are deeper, dissolving stitches that also help to hold the closure together. If this is the case, the visible stitches could be removed in early as 3 – 5 days. If there are no deep…

At the time of the procedure, the skin is pulled to an appropriate tension. Immediately after surgery (first week) , things are at their tightest due to the swelling. As the swelling resolves (1-4 weeks), the tension will decrease, and the skin will start to relax (1-6 months). As these things occur, you should not expect the neck to tighten; if anything, it will become more loose. Hope this helps.
Best regards,

My advice is to go back to have the sutures trimmed/removed. This way you wont have to worry how they are to be cut, and you can make sure that the stitches that are exposed are not something more important. On the other hand, if it is too far, or you find it hard to get back to see you PS, the stitches are usually trimmed at skin level by pulling on them, cutting flush to the skin, and then letting the ends retract back, when the stitch is released. You may not have the…

From your photos and question, it's not totally clear whether you had a mini of a full abdominoplasty. This makes a difference because if you had a mini, there is no plication done above the umbilicus, and sometimes this causes bulging in the upper abdomen. If this is the cause, then plication of the rest of the upper abdomen may be needed. You mentioned that you have no fat in the tummy, and this is why I am questioning what type of tummy tuck you had, since…
