I am a 36 year old with 4 full term pregnancies. No stretch marks or significant loose skin. I am currently 140lbs(was 125 before children). I gained no more than 40lbs with each pregnancy. I would like to have lipo of the abs and flanks but am afraid it will cause loose skin. My biggest concern is the skin that hangs when you sit. Will lipo remove that or will it make it worse. What are the best types of lipo for me to avoid these issues if at all possible?

Answer: Loose Skin Following Liposuction Thank you for your question. It appears from your photos as though you have good skin quality. Typically, patients with good skin quality do not have a problem with their skin contracting following liposuction. However, this is impossible to guarantee. It also depends on how much fat the surgeon takes out during liposuction. It is possible if a lot of fat is taken you could have loose skin, but if the liposuction is more conservative it would improve your chances of not having issues with skin contraction. See a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for a consultation to discuss your options and potential outcomes. Best of Luck,

Answer: Liposuction Thank you for your question. Liposuction produce some some loose skin but skin is elastic and shrinks over a period of 6 months. Good quality skin skin shrink better and it is hard to predict exactly how much it shrinks. Smart lipo can to certain degree can tighten the skin. Based on your description you probably will have some loose skin. If you want loose skin go away , then TT is the option. Please consult with a board certified PS for evaluation and to discuss your goals.
