Will Smart Lipo Help on Lumpy Stomach Fat?

I am 50 yrs. old and I have had 3 children of 29, 26 and 23. I was just lazy after they were born and didn't work on losing my stomach fat. I now have been working out on a pretty regular schedule for the last few years but I can't seem to ever tighten up the lumpy looking fat on my stomach and abdomen area. The rest of my body is not so bad but I am still trying to eat better and work out regularly so this will stay ok. I don't have any pictures at this time.

Will Smart lipo help remove the lumpy stomach fat? Will it tighten up my stomach area?

As it makes a big difference both in cost and in recovery time, it is very important that the surgeon give as good an estimate of your chances as possible. Usually, I can pinpoint to about 1% those who need a tummy tuck. Most don't, but some absolutely need it. On the other hand, I find that if you go to a plastic surgeon rather than a dermatologist,... more

Smartlipo versus Tummy Tuck

If you have lumpy fat and loose abdominal skin, then an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck may be the best option for you. If you post a pictures, then we may be able to give you more specific advice. Good luck.
