Will a Tummy Tuck with Lipo Rid my Midsection of Cellulite?

I have a thick midsection with cellulite. I don't have it anywhere else on my body. I am 50 yrs old and was a fat child. I am currently exercising 5 to 6 days a week at more than an hour each session. I have been doing this regimen for 3 years and lost about 60 pounds. I am now at a comfortable weight for my frame, 5'9 and 190 but i am consulting with Drs tomorrow for tummy tuck. I have loose skin from up and down all my life, and the cellulite is embarrassing.

Will a Tummy Tuck with Lipo Rid my Midsection of Cellulite

Good work on the weight loss. I am not sure of your definition of cellulite. A tummy tuck with tighten your abdominal wall, and will remove excess skin and attached fat. The remaining abdominal skin will be stretched out and usually will appear much smoother. If you stretch out the skin yourself and the "cellulite" disappears, it will probably be gone with a TT.j Thanks, and best wishes.

Tummy Tuck and Liposuction

A combination of abdominal liposuction and a tummy tuck will address excess subcutaneous fat around the abdomen and flanks and loose abdominal skin. The consults with your plastic surgeons should help determine which procedures will provide you with the optimal results. Thank you for your question! Best of Luck!

Tummy tuck for cellulite

Of course, the best result from tummy tuck is at a more ideal body weight, but if you are at a weight that is right for you, tummy tuck will solve the skin laxity and the addition of liposuction can reduce a cellulite pattern in the skin.

Tummy tuck with lipo

Congratulations on the weight loss. A tummy tuck will remove the excess skin and tighten your abdominal musculature. Combining it with lipo would certainly enhance the result.
