John P. Stratis, MD answers: Safe way to lose, tighten or improve tummy fat?

would lipo dissolve get rid of the flap of fat an skin caused by extreme edema during pregnacy,an a c/section at 36yrs old? I had my only baby at 36yrs old. I developed eclampsia in my 7th mth an as a result had 60pds of fluid weight which has left my tummy looking like a 90yr old with saggy,heavy tummy flap then had an emergency c/section which was done w/out any attempt to remove the massive amount of fat an strecthed out skin. I ve been unable to lose,tighten or improve my problem area sence the surgery in 2006.I have a severe multiple back injury an the added stress on my tummy is only making my injuries worse alot faster. What can I do safely?

Your situation would be best treated with a tummy tuck. Making it as safe and effective as possible is the bjob of your plastic surgery team. You can do other procedures that may be theorectically safer but you will never get the result you can get with a tummy tuck. Lipodisolve is not FDA approved and the things that they inject are "off label"
