I want to get rid of my muffin top, which treatment would be best: Lipo or tummy tuck? (Photos)

Asked By:Calm1205

I want to get rid of my “muffin top”. I had a consultation with a dr and told him about my hips and the little pouch below my abdomen. He started talking about a tummy tuck. He said if I do lipo It would make my skin loose. Tummy tuck will fix my skin on the abdomen. But I don't think it will get rid of my hips which is want I want. I don't care about my belly other than the little pouch. And he doesn't do lipo and tummy tucks at the same time. Which one should I do?
