I had lipo 10 years ago. Wasnt deal from the start but i have since gained weight as well. I was always left with an uneven tummy but what i hate the most is that shelf/pooch left right under my belly button. It's not hard, i can squeeze it. Just feels like fatty bit on my tummy. Have recently started looking into BBL but have been told i can do lipo 360 and achieve great results, but have also been told TT is necessary. Opinions ?
Answer: Tummy tuck Dear Rherrera80, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Tummy Tuck vs Liposuction and the Possibility of a BBL Thank you for your question and for providing images. Based on the photos and your goals, I believe a tummy tuck may provide you with the best results. Liposuction, particularly revision liposuction, could potentially lead to further skin wrinkling and irregularities. However, if you are also considering a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), it's essential to know that this procedure requires fat harvested from your own body, usually through liposuction. Therefore, if a BBL is your priority, abdominal and love-handle liposuction could be considered to collect the necessary fat for transfer. If this procedure doesn't meet your expectations for your abdominal appearance, a subsequent tummy tuck could be considered. Thus, your decision should depend on whether a BBL is part of your desired outcome. A tummy tuck seems more appropriate than liposuction alone to achieve optimal results for your abdomen. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen

Answer: Lipo or tummy tuck Hello and thank you for the question regarding liposuction or tummy tuck. You had liposuction 10 years ago and you still appear very lean. It would be a mistake to 'over lipo' an area. The older we get, the more laxity we get in our skin, thus making liposuction alone a more risky option. You may be ready for an abdominoplasty but a consultation will ensure that you have enough skin laxity to warrant the procedure.

Answer: Abdomen You might get good results with additional liposuction to remove the excess fat and nonsurgical EMSculpt to help tighten your abdominal muscles. Otherwise, a min tuck would also work, or a full if you want the flattest and tightest abdomen.

Answer: Depends on skin elasticity It depends on the quality of your skin. If it is elastic and firm, then liposuction alone would be sufficient. However, if you skin is loose, then a tummy tuck would be more suitable.

Answer: Lipo 360 vs Tummy Tuck Based on your pictures you are an excellent candidate for a BBL (Brazilian butt lift). You may combine it with a full Tummy Tuck as the tummy tuck will remove fat and skin comprehensively addressing your lower abdominal bulge and liposuction deformities on your lower abdomen. Whether that tummy tuck includes muscle repair to tighten your muscles and give the appearance of a flatter abdomen is hard to say without a consultation. However, combining this Tummy Tuck with strategic fat removal along your flanks, bra rolls, and upper back may help you achieve a smoother contour. When skin redundancy irregularities are observed Renuvion technology can be simultaneously be applied to select areas in order to tighten your skin. An in person or virtual consultation with a Tummy Tuck specialist will help you get accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully,Brandon Richland, MD
