Percentage of Bad Liposuction Results?
Hi. I'm 46 (no kids). I was effortlessly thin...till 41. Gained 10 lbs mostly in middle. One day, I'm sold on Liposuction, the next I read a horrifying review (even with certified surgeons).
I care more about what I look like naked than with clothes. Assuming I have a good dr., is there any way to gauge my chances? How common is the loose, uneven result? What percentage of women end up with loose skin, lumpiness with tummy lipo?

2) There are plenty of bad liposuction results. Most of them can be prevented by good diagnosis and good technique.

I see alot of patients...

It appears that the vast majority of your abdominal appearance and fullness is partly due to inadequate muscle tone. I would recommend that you first try a course of core strengthening excercises such as Pilates or Yoga. I think that you will see significant improvements with no scars. The other possiblity is that you have a congenital rectus diastasis. This could improve with...
