What Procedure Will Help Me? (photo)

I am 5'2 119 lbs, 2 kids. My diet is low carb and I walk/run on treadmill 20 min 4 to 5 times a week. I have never had a nice tummy. Always had fat and cellulite. Even before kids. I tried coolsculpting July 2012, waste of $$, did not work. Considering TT but not sure I wanna go through all of that! Help?!

CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is not a treatment for cellulite and it is also not a treatment for loose skin. QWithout a consultation it is impossible to know what is best for you, but it is possible that skin excision of some kind, tummy tuck, etc. might provide the results you re hoping to acheive

Coolsculpting assessment

It is difficult to assess a photo for Coolsculpting given that we need to put our hands on your fat, pinch the skin and assess the character of your fat. That is the best way to find out if you are a candidate.

Best Procedure for Stomach

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos, a tummy tuck would be your best option. This procedure would leave your skin taught and your stomach flat. Before any procedure, it is important to consult with an experienced board-certified surgeon to determine the best course of action. Best of luck with your procedure.

Tummy Tuck is the best option

You can always have lipo to remove fat, but since the skin has already be stretched out, you will just be left with loose skin. A tummy tuck will leave you with a scar, but it will be hidden below your underwear line, but in return, you will have a completely flat abdomen.
