Q: Mini Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, or combination for post-pregnancy tummy? asked by Confused about tummy ny
A:
The best procedure for your post-partum abdomen depends on how fat you are. If you are fat, then the liposuction will be best for you. The skin will shrink somewhat, but I'm guessing it will still be loose. If you are not fat, then a tummy tuck with some lipo is the way to go. BUT after twins, i'm sure you'll need more than a mini-tuck. There are several different ways to do the aplasty; make sure your surgeon knows which of the choices is best for you.
