I am 44 years old and 165cms tall and 70ish kgs. My weight fluctuates 4 kilos but I hold the bulk of my weight in my mid region. I am committed to getting 360 lipo to remove some stubborn fat areas on my stomach, sides and back but some surgeons said without a tummy tuck, I will be disappointed. To be honest, I'm just scared of the recovery and pain with a tummy tuck and I'm not after a perfect washboard stomach but I also don't want to waste my time or money so I welcome your op

Answer: Liposuction and tummy tuck You do have excess fat and liposuction would be helpful. However, liposuction only removes fat and the skin may hang. You are young enough that if you wear a compressive garment after liposuction the skin will contract. A tummy tuck will remove the skin and fat, it more effective but does leave more of a scar. A tummy tuck will probably leave you with dog ears laterally and you will need liposuction at the same time as the tummy tuck.

Answer: Liposuction will decrease volume. Your liposuction will thin your fat deposits under your skin and make you thinner from that standpoint. Points to consider are: if you have increased visceral fat, the fat around your intestines, this will not be treated, and unfortunately as we age no one’s skin gets more elastic, so you may need to accept some laxity of your skin after your liposuction. How much laxity you may encounter is difficult to predict, however, from your photographs I don’t notice any tissue which is hanging, so this would be in your favor. Have a detailed discussion with a plastic surgeon so that realistic expectations can be created for you.
