I'm a healthy 47 year old that is active and exercises several times a week. Unfortunately, due hormonal changes and other factors, I've started gaining weight in my mid-section and flanks and am considering the right procedure for this. I don't need a perfectly flat stomach or to wear midriff tops; I just want I look slim. One potential complication is that I have a scar on my abdomen from a biopsy on a lipoma in my stomach taken when I was 8. I'd prefer to stay away from a tuck, if possible.

Answer: Liposuction Thank you for your question and photos. From your photos, I believe you are a liposuction candidate for de-bulking. I would have to do a physical exam to assess if you have diastasis-recti, which usually happens from pregnancy to know for sure if you would be a better tummy-tuck candidate. I recommend that you visit your provider for an in person exam. Thank you!

Answer: Tummy tuck + Liposuction Candidate Thank you for your question. Based on the pictures it looks like you have abdominal weakness and this can be result with the muscle repair performing the tummy tuck combined with abdomen, waist and laterals liposuction for this reason from my medical view this is your first recommendation. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.
