Tummy Tuck and Liposuction at 5'2" 165 lbs
It is always best to be at goal weight, but this is not realistic for most people. Tummy Tuck and Liposuction at 5'2" 165 lbs may yield a good result. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of tummy tucks and liposuction procedures each year. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Tummy Tuck and Liposuction
Given the extra skin and fat seen in your abdominal region, I think a tummy tuck and liposuction would be of great benefit to you if you are otherwise healthy.

Is It Possible for Me to Get Descent Results with Tummy Tuck and Liposculpture?
"Descent" results is very subjective. Make sure you clearly discuss expectations with your Plastic Surgeon. I usually recommend patients lose as much weight as possible prior to their procedure. Its important to remember that intraabdominal fat cannot be liposuctioned and therefore will contribute to fullness in your abdomen. Only weight loss improves this. At some point an abdominoplasty and liposuction would be a very good option for you.

Is It Possible for Me to Get Descent Results with Tummy Tuck and Liposculpture?
Yes you should have a medical evaluation and medically supervised diet control first before surgery. Best to attain a weight of 140ish. Good luck.

It will be possible as soon as you loose 40 pounds at minimum/seria posible tan pronto y pierdas 40 libs. minimo
Hy you first should check why do you get easeally overweight? you would need lab tests about thyroid, and diabetes, because your overweight is almost 44 pounds in excess and if you think with the lypo and TT you are going to loose extraweight and stay thin you are in an ERROR- MISTAKE because as soon as be operated on you surely will get another time overweighted because your ppal. medical problem has not been corrected yet.

Weight loss first, then tummy tuck
I agree entirely, even though it is very tough, ALL people can lose weight if their caloric intake is less than the calories they burn. A medically controlled program of dietary modification (not a "diet") plus exercise will help you get down to a weight where you could get a nice result from surgery. But it won't be great at your present weight.

Not now
If that is your real weight, your BMI is over 30 -- your weight should be closer to 130 before you have surgery. A real medically controlled diet is your first answer, then think of surgery when your BMI is under 26 or so.

Tummy tuck candidate or not?
Based upon your photos, it looks like you may weight more than you listed. It is hard to say for usre without an exam. The closer you are to your ideal weight, the better the tummy tuck result should be.

Tummy Tuck and Liposculptur
I think you would have a very significant improvement with a tummy tuck, and possibly liposuction to the flanks. You would have a better result were you able to lose some weight before surgery. Getting from your current BMI of 30 down to 25 would require about 25 pounds.
If you can't do that, you will still have a nice improvement.
