I know my stomach can be smaller because I lost weight in the pass unfortunately I’ve gained it back. I was recently told that because of stretch marks on my stomach after bbl my stomach will drop lower
Answer: Abdominal evaluation Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you are a better candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction of your flanks and back. This can be done through a low and short incision, all completely below the bikini line. The belly button can be designed to look natural and have no scars on the exterior. Your muscles can also be plicated resulting in a flat abdomen. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: I want 360 Lipo. Flat stomach, no back rolls. Am I a candidate or should I lose weight to obtain hourglass shape? (Photo) While liposuction will greatly improve those areas, it will not improve the skin on the abdomen or on the back.

Answer: Liposuction gives immediate results while you diet and exercise along the way forever. Sure dieting and exercising is always helpful but when you need motivation and also wants to see definite results, liposuction can't be beat. It would be best to do 2 procedures which can be done just a day apart under local for best results.

Answer: Lipo 360 The most powerful way to reshape your body is liposuction techniques all the way around your abdomen, waist, love handles, bra rolls, and lower back. You will still have some folds over your back and your tummy wont be super flat because that's skin laxity.

Answer: Lose weight or lipo You have not told us your height and weight, and whether you've had kids. From the photos alone, I do not believe you would be able to get a perfect result with lipo only, but Without an exam, it will not be possible to fully evaluate you and give you recommendations.

Answer: Liposuction Candidate--Body Contouring, Diet, Exercise, Surgery, VASER HI DEF 4D Liposculpture You need to lose weight first before undergoing any cosmetic procedure to get the best outcome. For best results, it is recommended to be at your ideal or stable weight before getting a sculpting liposuction procedure. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, rather it is for sculpting and defining and removing problem areas that cannot be removed with weight loss and diet / exercise alone. With skin laxity, a tummy tuck or lifting procedure could be performed at the same time. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a bariatric doctor or dietitian. Best, Dr. Emer
