I have provided photos. What can I expect if I get lipo without the tummy tuck? As you can see my stomach is rather large and I don’t want to have unrealistic expectations. Will my stomach be flat without TT? Will my rolls at least disappear? I’m 5’6, 178 pounds 28 years old.

Answer: Saggy skin makes tummy tuck more suitable Due to the loose skin you appear to have, you’ll most likely be left with some amount of hanging, saggy skin after liposuction alone. The circumference of your mid-section may decrease, however the saggy skin may negatively impact your results. This saggy skin may hang over the top of your pants and you probably won’t be as happy with your results.

Answer: Liposuction without the Tummy Tuck? Hi thank you for your question along with your photos. Liposuction can remove excess fat, but will not address excess skin. If you do liposuction you would most likely be unhappy with the results since you will more than likely have loose skin remaining. A tummy tuck in addition to the liposuction will give you a flatter stomach overall. If you are planning to have kids in the future then it is best to hold off on a tummy tuck. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and expectations.Hope this helps,Dr. German NewallHouston Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Expectations Hello and thank you for posting photos along with your question...What you can likely expect with just lipo alone is ONLY a decrease in the fullness of your trunk. You have excess skin that should be addressed if you want the best result. If a patient similar to your photos came in to see me I would recommend 360 degree lipo with full tummy tuck for the overall BEST result. I have attached a before and after of a patient similar to you (individual results can vary). I would not have been able to achieve this result without performing the tummy tuck portion. Hope this helps and best of luck in your plastic surgery journey!
