SYDNEY (AFP) – Australia coach Ange Postecoglou on Monday said captain Mile Jedinak could miss the rest of the Asian Cup group stages after injuring his ankle.
Postecoglou said Jedinak, who will miss Tuesday's game with Oman, was also "not certain" for the Socceroos' final Group A clash with South Korea on Saturday.
The Crystal Palace midfielder did not train with his team-mates at Sydney's Stadium Australia on Monday. He was seen wearing a moonboot brace after Friday's 4-1 win over Kuwait.
"We'll assess it as we go for the Korea game. Obviously it's nothing major that will keep him out for a length of time," Postecoglou told reporters. He added: "We'll assess it on a daily basis. Mile's pretty keen to play and if he's anywhere near fit he'll play. But at this stage we're taking it day by day."
Jedinak twisted his left ankle late in the first half against Kuwait, when the scores were still level, but he played on and completed the match, scoring a penalty along the way.
Postecoglou also said he planned to make "at least a couple of changes" to his line-up against Oman to keep players fresh for the rest of the tournament.
Friday's thumping win left Australia in the box seat to progress from Group A as they seek to win the Asian Cup for the first time.
"If we're going to play at the tempo we want to, 11 players aren't going to do it so we'll make at least a couple of changes tomorrow night," said the coach.

The Voice contestant Justin Hopkins has said that working with Cee Lo will help him decide what music genre is most suitable for him.
The 30-year-old singer from Redondo Beach, California, joined Team Cee Lo following a performance of 'Babylon' by David Gray on Monday night (February 20).
> Read Digital Spy's full The Voice headlines
Speaking to reporters on a conference call, Hopkins said: "Cee Lo has so many different levels and for me musically, I've never really been able to grasp what it is exactly I wanted to accomplish.
"[Working with Cee Lo], the possibilities are endless. My goal is just to learn and be a sponge in this process.
"I've always been a little bit of a wild wheel and it's really nice to have something to focus on and have somebody to learn from versus doing everything on your own with your own reckless abandon."
Hopkins was previously a member of the Carson Daly show house band, and told reporters that he is grateful for Daly's continued support.
"To have Carson Daly really have my back on a show of this level [is great,]" he said. "It's been years since we worked together and he was such amazing cheerleader for us when we were on the band.
"To have him getting out there and giving us some recognition and love after probably about 300 shows since I last saw the man... It feels like a bit of a rebirth back to 2007."

Informing Olympia Oyster Restoration: Evaluation of Factors That Limit Populations in a California Estuary

The goal of this investigation was to inform restoration strategies by determining which factors are most important in limiting Olympia oyster (Ostrea lurida) distribution and abundance at a Pacific coast estuary, Elkhorn Slough in central California, where Olympia oysters are currently extremely rare but were formerly abundant. An array of mensurative experiments and correlative analyses were used to examine the role of potential limiting factors. Absence of oysters was associated with symptoms of eutrophication, including elevated nutrient concentrations and turbidity. Oysters were also absent from all sites where water control structures resulted in minimal tidal exchange. Predation and competition did not appear to play a major role in surveyed oyster populations above Mean Lower Low Water but at lower elevations oysters were heavily fouled by non-native species. In most sites oysters were found only on large artificial substrates; survival on small natural hard substrates was apparently precluded by burial by fine sediments. Restoring more natural ecosystem processes by reducing nutrient and sediment inputs, increasing tidal exchange to areas behind water control structures, and preventing establishment of new non-native species would benefit Olympia oysters as well as support broader ecosystem-based management goals.

The NY Times today Cover-Up Issue Is Seen as Focus in Leak Inquiry
"WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 - As he weighs whether to bring criminal charges in the C.I.A. leak case, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, the special counsel, is focusing on whether Karl Rove, the senior White House adviser, and I. Lewis Libby Jr., chief of staff for Vice President Dick Cheney, sought to conceal their actions and mislead prosecutors, lawyers involved in the case said Thursday.
Among the charges that Mr. Fitzgerald is considering are perjury, obstruction of justice and false statement - counts that suggest the prosecutor may believe the evidence presented in a 22-month grand jury inquiry shows that the two White House aides sought to cover up their actions, the lawyers said.
Mr. Rove and Mr. Libby have been advised that they may be in serious legal jeopardy, the lawyers said, but only this week has Mr. Fitzgerald begun to narrow the possible charges. The prosecutor has said he will not make up his mind about any charges until next week, government officials say.
With the term of the grand jury expiring in one week, though, some lawyers in the case said they were persuaded that Mr. Fitzgerald had all but made up his mind to seek indictments. None of the lawyers would speak on the record, citing the prosecutor's requests not to talk about the case."
And so the beat goes on. Notice the "lawyers involved in the case" who won't "speak on the record" because "The prosecutor reguested they not talk about the case"?
Balderdash! This is a secret Grand Jury - anyone caught leaking can be jailed - so let's get that straight. Lawyers, tigers and bears Oh My!
I've been reading articles like this through the years, they follow the same MO. A unsubstantiated claim followed by an opinion, slide in a few more claims, etc.
"The case has cast a cloud over the White House, as has the Congressional criticism over the Supreme Court nomination of Harriet E. Miers. On Thursday, responding to a reporter's question, Mr. Bush said: "There's some background noise here, a lot of chatter, a lot of speculation and opining. But the American people expect me to do my job, and I'm going to."
The possible violations under consideration by Mr. Fitzgerald are peripheral to the issue he was appointed in December 2003 to investigate: whether anyone in the administration broke a federal law that makes it a crime, under certain circumstances, to reveal the identity of a covert intelligence officer.
But Mr. Rove and Mr. Libby may not be the only people at risk. There may be others in the government who could be charged for violations of the disclosure law or of other statutes, like the espionage act, which makes it a crime to transmit classified information to people not authorized to receive it."
Yeah, peripheral issues. Can you see the "back tracking"? Before it was it was "outing a CIA op to get back at Wilson!" I mean that was it! Rove and Libby outted that poor uncover agent Valerie Plame!
Well, for the last two weeks we haven't heard that line too much, because they know, they've always known, it's crap. Instead it's "Peripheral issues". It's obstruction and lying and cheating, and not brushing their teeth after eating....The only charge they haven't mentioned Fitzgerald looking to pin on Rove and Libby is the Jimmy Hoffa disappearance.
Yeah, you can indict a ham sandwitch, but from what we know - and that's very little, about this case there wasn't any effort to deceive or obstruct by Rove and Libby or anyone else in the White House. Heck, Rove and Libby had been to the courthouse so many times they had their own parking spaces! Months before Rove's celebrated and MSM hyperventilated fourth visit to the Grand Jury, he had volunteered to return.
Sorry, people who cooperate and volunteer aren't usually the one's who get indicted. Those who stand on the periphery pointing fingers and who you don't see making more than one visit are usually the indictees. And just a little note - Fitzgerald doesn't make the decision to indict, the jury does.
At this point I'm hoping that Fitzgerald is wrapping things up - the Grand Jury meets today, so we'll see. Just a little Here's to the good guys!

She sucked that cock deep down her throat. She got him hard and took his hard tool down her throat until her eyes were watering and she was nearly gagging on his cock.

Ken Palmer: What's the biggest reason the Bears have gone from NFC champs to just struggling to get to .500?
John Crist: The easiest answer for most any NFL team that goes from success to failure so abruptly is injuries, and the Bears have certainly had their fair share this season. Losing safety Mike Brown yet again in Week 1 was a devastating blow, not just on the field but from a leadership standpoint since he's one of the most respected senior members of the locker room. Young defensive tackle Dusty Dvoracek was also lost in the season-opener, Pro-Bowl cornerback Nathan Vasher has been out since Week 4 and left the secondary in complete disarray without him, and an arthritic back for All-Pro linebacker Brian Urlacher is apparently the explanation for why he's been so, well, human this year.
But on top of the injury bug, aside from return specialist extraordinaire Devin Hester, linebacker Lance Briggs, and defensive end Adewale Ogunleye, not one member of this team on either side of the ball is exceeding – or even duplicating – his level of production from last year's run to Super Bowl XLI.
KP: Do you think this team is poised for a playoff run after a potential season-saving victory last week?
LB Lance Briggs
Nam Y. Huh/AP Images
JC: Every time the Chicago media tries to kick dirt on the Bears' collective grave, they pull off yet another improbable victory that keeps their fleeting playoff hopes alive. If you take a peek at the standings right now, it's certainly conceivable that the Monsters of the Midway could make a postseason run because all five remaining opponents are potential playoff teams in the NFC. And as for the current wild card front-runners, the 6-5 Lions appear to be in freefall mode and have a brutal schedule down the stretch, and the 7-4 Giants have a history of crumbling in the second half during the Tom Coughlin regime.
Beating the G-Men this Sunday would do wonders for their playoff position because head-to-head record is the first tiebreaker when determining who qualifies for the postseason, but there is very little reason to be optimistic that the Bears can finish strong with how inconsistent they've been on offense and how beat up they are on defense.
KP: Do the Bears wish they had never let Thomas Jones get away?
JC: Considering the fact that Cedric Benson was just moved to injured reserve Tuesday with a nasty ankle injury, it wouldn't be a bad consolation prize to have Jones still around to resume his role as the primary ball-carrier. But while the two of them formed one of the better tailback tandems in the NFL during the second half of 2006, there was no way they could co-exist for another year in Chicago. GM Jerry Angelo made a $17 million commitment to Benson and it was time to start seeing some returns on that massive investment, plus Jones had no chance of getting the contract extension he wanted so badly and eventually got from the Jets.
While I do believe that Adrian Peterson can be a good back in this league and is a more well-rounded player that Benson will ever be, it's possible the Bears' special teams will take a hit because Peterson is dynamite on the coverage units.
KP: If you were game-planning against the Bears, would you even consider kicking or punting to Devin Hester?

JC: As I've written several times over, I've simply decided to stop slinging superlatives Hester's way because no words can possibly describe what he does with a football in his hands. The Bears would have been blown out by the Broncos last Sunday if Hester hadn't scored those two return touchdowns in the third quarter, yet another example of what he can do to single-handedly swing the momentum of a football game and put six points on the board faster than any man on the planet. And not only is he already the best return man the league has ever seen, he even has a major impact on field position when teams kick the ball away from him because those squibbers are often returned by upbacks beyond the 40-yard line.
That being said, teams are insane kicking to this guy because the Bears offense hasn't displayed the ability to consistently move the ball this season – boot the ball out of bounds and dare Rex Grossman and Co. to drive 60 yards.
KP: How has our old buddy Brad Maynard been for you guys, and has he taken a beating from his teammates for being voted the sexiest Bear by the Chicago Sun-Times?
JC: The Bears are considered to have the best special teams in the league, and Maynard is a big reason why. He averaged 44.2 yards per punt last season and incredibly only had seven touchbacks on 77 attempts, although his numbers are down to some degree in 2007 – 42.5 and six touchbacks on 55 attempts. Maynard is still one of the best directional punters around, tying for fifth in the NFL with 21 balls downed inside the enemy 20-yard line.
And yes, the team had a few laughs at Maynard's expense with the day or two of special attention he got a year ago for being named sexiest Bear, but Alex Brown in particular felt he was more deserving.

text: Religions of South Asia Five Main Religions of South Asia Hinduism Buddhism Jainism Islam---We studied Islam in depth in the Middle East Unit, so we will not be learning about this religion within this lesson. Sikhism What Religions are found in India? Hinduism: 81.3% Buddhism: 0.7% Islam: 12% Christianity: 2.3% Jainism: 0.5% Sikhism: 1.9% CULTURE OF SOUTH ASIA A culturally fragmented region Religious and linguistic diversity Religions Islam is predominant in Pakistan and Bangladesh (165 million in India). Hinduism is predominant in India. Sikhism thrives in northern India. Buddhism is predominant in Sri Lanka. Hinduism emerged from the beliefs and practices brought to India by the Aryans. (6th century BC) Buddhism emerged during the 6th century BC; made the state religion of India in 3rd century BC Islam swept through central India from the 8th -10th centuries AD RELIGIOUS CONTRASTS ISLAM Monotheistic No idols One sacred book Uniform dogma - 5 pillars Intolerant (of other religions) Eat beef/Sacrifice cows Bury Dead Social Equality (in theory) Theocratic society HINDUISM Polytheistic Many idols Various sacred writings Varying beliefs Absorbed other religions Venerate cows Burn dead (& alive) Caste separation "State" of secondary importance Hindu/Muslim-practices/perceptions •Hindus tend to be vegetarians (ahimsa and reincarnation beliefs foster this) •Cows are sacred animals •Believe in reincarnation •Brahman, if it is God, is an impersonal one •Follow caste system – no social or religious mobility within one lifetime •Formerly practiced sutee •Muslims see Hindus as polytheistic infidels not to be tolerated •Muslims eat meat (cows) – not pork •Muslims are strict monotheists •Muslims believe in a personal God •Muslims reject the concept of castes – equality of believers •Reject reincarnation Globalization & Diversity: Rowntree, Lewis, Price, Wyckoff 7 Similarities Between Hinduism and Buddhism Both religions believe in the concept of karma and reincarnation. Both emphasize compassion and nonviolence towards all living beings. Both believe in spiritual practices like meditation and concentration to help reach a certain state of mind. Both believe in renunciation of worldly life to enter spiritual life. Both consider desire as the chief cause of suffering. Both believe that liberation, nor rebirth or heavenly life, is the best solution to the problem of suffering and bondage. Similarities Between Hinduism and Buddhism Both believe the goal of religion is to attain enlightenment and be released from the cycle of rebirth and death. This is not all the similarities, but a starting point for your compare and contrast essay! Differences Between Hinduism and Buddhism Hinduism was not founded by any prophet. Buddhism was founded by the Buddha. Hinduism believes in the supremacy of the Vedas and Caste System. While Buddhists reject the Vedas and Caste System. Buddhism does not believe in the existence of souls who come from God. While Hindus believe in the existence of Atman, which is the individual soul and Brahman, the Supreme Creator. Differences Between Hinduism and Buddhism Hinduism believes in the trinity of Gods. The Buddhist doe not accept any Hindu god either as an equal or superior to the Buddha. The original followers of Buddhism as taught by Buddha do not worship the images of Buddha nor believe in the Bodhisattvas. Hinduism recognizes four chief aims of life: dharma, artha, kama, and mosksha. Buddhism considers the world full of suffering and resolving it the chief purpose of life through dharma and liberation/nirvana. Differences Between Hinduism and Buddhism Hindus believe in the four ashrams or stages of life. This is not followed in Buddhism. People can join the Buddhist Order any time depending on their spiritual preparedness. Buddhists organize themselves into a monastic Order. And the monks live in groups. Hinduism is basically a religion of the individual. Differences Between Hinduism and Buddhism Buddhism believes in the concept of Bodhisattvas. Hinduism does not. Buddhism acknowledges the existence of some gods and goddesses, but they are not very important. Buddhists require following the EightFold Path and believing in the Four Noble Truths for liberation. Hinduism offers many choices to its followers on the path of selfrealization. Differences Between Hinduism and Buddhism Although both religions believe in karma and rebirth, they differ in the manner in which they operate and the impact they have on the existence of individual beings. A God or gods have been wholly rejected by Theravda Buddhists. Their only refuge are the three jewels of the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha. Differences Between Hinduism and Buddhism The previous slides contain only some of the differences, but not all. They are a starting point for your compare and contrast essay. Hinduism HINDUISM One of the world's oldest religions. Not just a religion; also a culture in itself. Hinduism Originated more than 3000 year ago. Do not have 1 specific founder. 3rd most practiced religion in the world with about 1 billion followers (1.4 million in US) Originated in India Belief in a supreme spirit Oldest in the world but developed over the centuries from many different texts. There is no hierarchy like Catholic Religions Hinduism • • • • • Grew out the Aryan culture, the Vedas, and the work of Brahman priests Everyone has a moral duty: dharma Good actions are rewarded and bad ones punished: karma People are reincarnated and either move up or down on the caste system based on their karma Ultimate goal is to be reunited with the universal spirit after living as Brahman priest 2500 – 250 BC Hinduism The religion of Hinduism developed and evolved over a long time in India, giving rise to a variety of beliefs and practices and to other religions, including Buddhism. One of the oldest religions of humanity, founded in 1500 BCE or earlier. It is the 3rd largest religion in the world. No particular founder Brahman Background The term Hindu originates from the Sindhu, the ancient name for the Indus river. Classical language=Sanskrit. It is the language for Hinduism and is one of India's 22 official languages (less than 50000 fluent) The faiths traditions and beliefs developed from the ancient Vedic tradition. MAJOR TENETS OF HINDUISM Three main ideas are important in understanding the Hindu religion and the caste system Reincarnation Karma Dharma REINCARNATION Every living thing has a soul. When a living thing dies, its soul moves into another living creature. Souls are reborn in a newly created life. What is reincarnation according to the Hindus? It is rebirth of the soul in various forms. After the body dies, the soul may be reborn as anything from a god to a flower to a snake. Each form in only temporary. KARMA Every action brings about certain results. There is no escaping the consequences of one's actions. Good behavior is rewarded when the soul is reborn into a higher ranking living creature. Karma The cycle of reincarnation continues until one reaches moksha. The cycle is governed by the law of karma. Karma is derived from the Sanskrit word: 'to do". The law of karma states that every deedmental or physical-in this life affects a person's fate in a future life. Your present situation is the result of your deeds in a past existence, says karmic law. Hinduism– Beliefs How does a Hindu achieve moksha? Karma: every deed in a person's life affects a person's fate in a future life Reincarnation: rebirth of the soul Karma determines where you are reincarnated in the caste system Good Karma = higher in caste system Bad Karma = lower in caste system DHARMA A set of rules that must be followed by all living things if they wish to work their way up the ladder of reincarnation. Each person's dharma is different. Hinduism– Beliefs How does a Hindu achieve moksha? Dharma: duties and obligations of your caste Doing your dharma will get you good karma Hinduism– Beliefs Atman: the essential self Also, part of the Brahman Nonviolence Every living thing has an atman Unity of all Life---Atman "The essential self or the vital essence in human is the same as that in an ant, the same as that in a gnat, the same as that in an elephant…indeed the same as that in the whole universe." Seeing all life as sacred – a part of a "oneness" Results in the life principle of nonviolence Supports the idea of being in harmony with nature A principle also found in Jainism and Buddhism Ahimsa Globalization & Diversity: Rowntree, Lewis, Price, Wyckoff 32 Hinduism– Beliefs Moksha: freeing your atman/soul from your body The ultimate goal of all Hindus Your atman is reunited with the Brahman and you will have true peace. Brahman Hinduism– Beliefs How does a Hindu achieve moksha? Caste system: strict social classes Handed down from the Aryan varna A Hindu must reach the top of the caste system in order to achieve moksha How do you get to the top? Priests, "brahman" Traders, merchants Commoners, peasants Untouchables CASTE SYSTEM 1) Brahmans, the priestly and learned class; 2) Kshatriyas, the warriors and rulers; 3) Vaisyas, farmers and merchants; 4) Sudras, peasants and laborers. 5) Panchamas, "the untouchables" who performed the most menial tasks. The Varna (Caste System) 4 different castes– Never change within a lifetime. 1. 2. 3. 4. Brahmin- priests and educated people Kshatria- Rulers and Aristocrats Vaisia- Landlords and Businessmen Sundra- Peasants and working class Untouchables (literally cannot be touched by the other 4 castes)- Cleaning, sewage, etc. Jat The Varna is broken down further into various Jat or Jati. Must eat according to Caste Must work according to Caste Must marry within the Caste Hinduism– Beliefs Brahman: the single supreme force of the universe Only a few people can fully understand it Many gods are worshiped as part of the Brahman Nameless, formless, unlimited Names and faces given to certain aspects of the Brahman: Shiva, destroyer Brahma, creator Vishnu, protector 2500 – 250 BC What do Hindus believe? 1. Brahman -the eternal being - created and preserves the world. Everything in the world is an aspect of Brahman. 2. Atman - the soul – each person has one that is an aspect of Brahman. Can't ever be destroyed. 3. Devas – manifestations of Brahman that are active in the world and who help to maintain order. 3 of the most common—Brahma, Vishnu, & Siva 4. Reincarnation – being reborn into this world lifetime after lifetime (Samsara) 5. Karma – the sum effect of a person's actions, good and bad, which helps shape future experiences 6. Moksha - goal of human existence, escape from the cycle of reincarnation to join with the Brahman. 7. Dharma – set of spiritual duties and obligations that must be fulfilled to achieve moksha. Hinduism Sacred texts 1. 2. Vedas – scriptures/hymns that explain Hindu teachings Upanishads Vedas Help explain the ideas of the Vedas Vedas and Roots of Hinduism Unlike many religions, Hinduism bases its principles on a collection of teachings compiled over time. Earliest collection are the Vedas Scriptures. Other notable scriptures are the Bhagavad-Gita, the Brahma Sutras, and the epics Ramayana and Mahabharata 2500 – 250 BC What are the Sacred Texts? Oldest, most authoritative: 1. Four Vedas ("truth") – sacred hymns of praise Contain knowledge revealed by Brahman 2. Upanishads – philosophical reflections on the Vedas Also revealed to, not written by, people the Great Indian Epics (composed by sages) Ramayana Mahabharata (includes BhagavadGita) Both tell stories that reflect on what it means to live according to Vedic teachings THREE BASIC PRACTICES or worship – corporate worship not required – largely individual practices Cremation of the dead Regulations of the caste system Puja Globalization & Diversity: Rowntree, Lewis, Price, Wyckoff 43 What are the religious practices of Hinduism? 2500 – 250 BC Vary greatly because worship can take place anywhere—usually a temple or in the home. Spiritual leaders are called gurus or sages. Yoga-integrated physical and mental exercises. They teach people to focus their minds and bodies which will aid their meditation in order to attain moksha Pilgrimage to Ganges (thought it flows through 2 devas so its water is holy. Bathing in it will purify them and remove bad karma. Ultimate goal of life – to release Atman and reunite with the divine, becoming as one with Brahman (Moksha) Hindu and Diet Many Hindus are vegetarian Since the divine soul flows through all beings, many devout Hindus support non-violence. Some will not eat meat on important days If meat is eaten, usually fish or chicken Cows are Venerated (highly respected) at it is illegal to slaughter a cow in most Indian states Because they provided milk and helped plow fields. They were caretakers Who do Hindus worship? – 3 Most Important Devas 2500 – 250 BC Brahma, the creator Siva, the Destroyer Vishnu, the Preserver The Three Main Gods of Hinduism Brahma: the creator Vishnu: the preserver Shiva: the destroyer Different sects worship different gods and their families. Hindus believe in the unity of all life and every person has an essential self or atman: part of the universal soul. Brahma: the creator Vishnu: the preserver Shiva: the destroyer All these deities are but Aspects of the impersonal Brahman Temples Originally did not have temples, idols or icons. There are temples that exist today that are usually dedicated to one deity. Temples are often sites of pilgrimages. Hindu Temple Globalization & Diversity: Rowntree, Lewis, Price, Wyckoff 53 Festivals Diwali, also known as the festival of lights. Ganesh Chaturthi, the festival celebrating Lord Ganesha. Maha Shivaratri, The night of Lord Shiva when he drank Halahala to save gods and demons from its effect. Ramanavami, celebrates the birthday of Lord Ram Holi, The spring festival of colors and light.

They believe that this demonstrates their obedience to God. A Sikh wearing a Turban (2) Kangha The Kangha is a small wooden comb. It keeps the hair fixed in place, and is a symbol of cleanliness.

Can I get a Tummy tuck? I had lipo to the lower abdomen about 3 years ago. (photos)
Can I get a tummy tuck? I had lipo to the lower abdomen about 3 years ago. SInce the lipo I have loose lumpy skin. Ive gained significant amount of weight as well. The surgeon did not touch the upper abdomen so Im left with more fat deposit on upper stomach. When I pinch my stomach Im able to grab a handful of fat.

Be carful
Yes you can get a tummy tuck, however, because of the uneven lipo you may not get a smooth skin even after doing a tummy tuck. Also, you need to know that the best results will be obtained with a full as opposed to mini tummy tuck. Make sure to have your surgeon show you before/after photos of patients with your situation so you can see the results (make sure the photos show sitting front and quarter turn photos)
With weight gains after contouring procedures
you will develop funny looks. With what you pinch, you could benefit from a procedure that would remove excess skin and liposuction the upper abdomen that wasn't done. BUT in order to do this, you have to have your weight issues under control so focus on that first and when you are at a stable weight you are able to maintain with your lifestyle, then go see a plastic surgeon for options.
Tummy Tuck After Liposuction
Tummy Tucks can usually be performed after Liposuction. This may be desirable for all the usual reasons for Tummy Tucks, children and weight loss being the most common, but can also be used when liposuction results are irregular, and smooth the results of loose skin after liposuction. Each case must be evaluated on an individual basis, because adequate circulation is required for a Tummy Tuck to heal properly. Seek a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for an in-person consultation to see if you are a good candidate.

Post lipo tummy tuck
I agree with the other surgeons that an abdominoplasty with muscle repair should give you a good result and should be able to improve most of the contour defects. There are many board certified plastic surgeons in our area who should be able to give you a nice result. Good luck!
Loose skin after LIPO
Hello, thank you for your question and photos. A TT would be an excellent treatment for you. With this procedure we can resect the excess of skin on the lower abdomen. A muscle repair should be done as well. Have a great day .
Tummy Tuck - Am I A Candidate?
Thank you for your question and photos. You appear to be an excellent candidate for a full tummy tuck. The abdominal skin excision and muscle tightening could give you an excellent contour as well as improve the tone of the anterior abdominal wall. Liposuction could be used to better define your flanks and hips at the time of tummy tuck surgery. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person examination to discuss the specific details of the procedures. Ask to see before and after photos to get an idea of what can be achieved. Hope this helps!
