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 is a good option for tummies!
From your photos, I think liposuction is a good option for you. You are motivated and young and should go through the liposuction procedure very well. Expect to pay about 5000-6000 for a special on lipo on your abdominal area and be sure to do it under local tumescent technique with the micro canulas for the best results and skin tightening. Sincerely,
David Hansen,MD

Answer: Liposuction Candidate?
Thank you for the question.
Congratulations on your weight loss. You may be a good candidate for liposuction surgery but this determination can only be made after direct examination to assess the quality of skin elasticity and to discuss your goals in detail.
I would suggest in person consultation with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon. In the meantime, keep up the good work!

Answer: Liposuction Candidate
Being that you are young, and you don't seem to have stretch marks, you are a great candidate for liposuction. You will definitely get a better shape to your midsection. The younger you are, the more elasticity you have in your skin. Also, with you only being 21, you may want to stay away from a tummy tuck since you are still in child bearing years. It is ideal to be at a comfortable, goal weight before considering any type of surgery as the doctor can get more of the hard to lose fat once your weight had plateaued.

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!
