Can I just do lipo 360 to get the flat stomach I want? (Photo)

Chaylam, Thank you for sharing your photos.
From your photos it appears you have a moderate protuberance/ bulge in your abdomen. Some this could be from diastasis recti or some fat inside the belly wall [ visceral fat] . If it from diastasis you would need a tummy tuck to treat the diastasis. Tummy Tuck will also give you the tightest skin. Lipo 360 with skin tightening can give you an improved to much improved belly and flanks. The recovery for Liposuction is faster and easier. The cost of liposuction is usually less. So you could do Liposuction 360 it may not give you the best result. I appreciate your preferences and I think Liposuction 360 is a reasonable choice but please understand the choice might be a compromise of faster recovery over the absolute best result. Hope that helps. Dr Wright

Your photo shows a potbelly and minimal fat on your belly and sides. The potbelly is caused by loose and separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti). You also have loose wrinkled skin on your abdomen. To make your belly flat, you need to fix the muscles. This can only be done with a tummy tuck. If you remove the minimal fat on your belly and sides with liposuction, your potbelly will still be there and your skin will become more wrinkled. It would be a total waste of your time and money. If you don't want a tummy tuck, then don't do anything.

Dear Chaylam,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Liposuction would remove fat tissue but you will probably have loose skin. 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.
