Hello all, I am 20 years old, I weigh 140lbs, I'm 5'4'' & I have lost about 15lbs over the past year. I want my tummy to be flat & tighter, I went in for a consultation the other day & was recommended liposuction. But I am afraid of loose skin. I would like to know your opinion: Would I benefit from liposuction??

Answer: Liposuction vs tummy tuck
If you have good skin tone and elasticity you may be a good candidate for liposuction. If you have loose skin and stretch marks, a tummy tuck may be the better procedure. A board certified plastic surgeon can easily determine which is best for you during an examination and consultation. It is difficult to make this determination based on the photos alone.
Best wishes,
Dr.Bruno

Answer: Liposuction after weight loss
Based on the photos and your age only, I think you would benefit from liposuction alone. A physical exam and a little more about your history would be necessary (as others have mentioned, have you had any pregnancies or past weight loss before? Is your weight stable? ...) Good luck!
