Will Aggressive Lipo Fix my Bulge? (photo)

I'm 7mpo a tummy tuck and muscle repair.Before my TT I asked my PS if I should lose weight.He said it wasn't neccessary. Here I am now with this large bulge.I can still feel that my MR is intact. And my PS said there is no need to do more tightening. I'm scheduled for aggressive ab lipo. Will lipo fix my bulge? Was I an ideal candidate for a tummy tuck? I want my stomach to look like my sucking in photo. Will an extended tummy tuck revision help me get to my goal? I'm 5'3, 160lbs, if that helps.

A: Liposuction after tummy tuck

There is no doubt that liposuction will improve the contour and reduce the bulge to some extent.  I don't think you will be able to acheive full reduction of the buldge to the level seen in the "sucking in" photo.    I do appreciate a right sided "dog ear" at the edge of your scar.  This will likely improve with liposuction of that area as well but may be additionally improved with a slight extension of your scar and direct excision of the underlying fat.

I Want to Have Liposuction Done on my Inner Thighs, but I Have Stretchmarks There.

I am in my early 20's. I've always been heavier on my legs, and got stretchmarks on my inner thighs and calves a couple years ago. I am looking into liposuction, and was wondering if my stretchmarks makes me a bad candidate. If so, is there an alternative to liposuction or liposculpture that would bring similar effects? Thanks!

A: Medial Thigh Liposuction

The bottom line is that you need to have a face to face consultation with a Plastic Surgeon to learn about the options based on the physical exam. It's reasonable to get a few opinions before you decide to have a procedure. Keep in mind that even with excellent skin quality there is still a risk for irregularities especially with liposuction of the medial thighs.
