Im researching some type of tummy tuck. There are so many options between Complete, Partial, High Lateral Tension, Circumferential, Fleur de Lis.....does anyone have any opinions regarding these options. Ive lost over 100lbs and am down to a size 4 or 6. The majority of my excess stomach skin is below the belly button so I wonder if I can get away with just a panni?
Any advice appreciated!

Start getting consults and see what different surgeons say. They should know what would be best for your body type.

Ditto what the other poster said. See what the doctors recomend and be sure to ask why they recoend one approach over the other.
