Liposuction should be right for your particular situation.

Liposuction under local tumescent anesthesia with the micro canulas work so well and is easy to undergo. Expect to pay $5-6000 for the abdomen and hips if on special. Alittle higher if not. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD

Liposuction may not be enough after 50 pound weight loss

I find it hard to believe that your skin is not loose after 50 pound weight loss. However, if it is a localized "pooch" and you retain excellent skin tone, tjen liposuctio could be an excellent option for you.

Liposuction for lower abdominal fat

Congratulations on your hard work and the healthy way you reduced your weight. You might be an excellent candidate for liposuction provided your muscle hasn't bulged forward needing an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). This can be identified by a physical examination in the office quite readily.

Lower abdomen issue

With the large fluctuation of weight the pouch you are describing may be loose skin and should be evaluated first.

Liposuction

Liposuction works best at contouring areas of localized fat, especially if there is not excess skin. It sounds like this would be an option for you.

Liposuction best for local fat deposits

Liposuction is the procedure of choice for localized fat deposits in the lower abdomen that have not responded to diet and exercise. With moderate weight loss, no pregnancies, and young elastic skin, you should do very well with a liposuction procedure. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd
