43 years old- Would liposuction work to improve my contour, or should I get a tummy tuck? (Photos)

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. Either procedure is an option for you but if you want to avoid the scar, you should consider liposuction as this will be a very powerful means to achieve good contour. I hope this helps.

I would recommend a combination of liposuction with Bodytite. You should have very good results with that. I would hold off on Tummy Tuck

Thank you for your question and pictures. I would recommend you Tumy tuck and liposuction with BBL for betters results. If you're willing to travel, Surgeons in the Dominican Republic have experience and very high standard of excellence when it comes to plastic surgery. I'm positive you can get what you're looking for

Hi. In my opinion, you won't need tummy tuck You will significantly benefit with liposuction. Looking at your pics it doesn't look like you have much saggy skin and stretch marks. So liposuction will surely give a good shape and confidence to wear bikinis. Since you are physically active, continuing exercise post operatively will help to improve the results and maintain the shape and weight. Hope that I have cleared your doubt. Thank you for posting your query.

Dear vgroovy,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from liposcution. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Given your history of pregnancy, it can be presumed that your skin elasticity has been compromised. The appearance of your belly button also hints at this too: it is becoming slit shaped. Nothing can compare to liposuction and a tummy tuck done well (progressive tension sutures, and ultra low incision), in fact it is nearly flawless and many women state that their result is better than their belly ever appeared. However, if you are scar phobic (which I state time and again is not founded in reality when the procedure is done by an expert), you can chose liposuction alone or with J Plasma. The results will be far from a tummy tuck, but it may be sufficient for you. If not, then the tummy tuck is your back up.

Hello!
This is a very common question. It looks like you have some abdominal muscle laxity which happens after pregnancy. However, you have nice skin quality and what appears to be focal fat. I think you could go either way based on your photos, considering the pros and cons of lipo v tummy tuck to lead you to your chosen procedure.
I would recommend you see a board certified plastic surgeon who can help guide you. You can find one at plasticsurgery.org.
Best of luck to you!

Hi dear, we can do a tummy tuck with Lipo360 to remove all the fat from your armpits, your back and waist, if we only do Lipo your abdomen will look flaccid, that's why we need to do a tummy tuck so you can show off a perfect abdomen , the tummy tuck scar is very low, you can wear bikinis because the panty will hide the scar

If you are wanting to avoid a tummy tuck it does appear that you will have improvement from liposuction. You may want to add J Plasma for some skin tightening with the procedure. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Thank you for your question and pictures.
Liposuction will contour the back, waist and underarm fat areas. In the abdominal area lipo can also be done, but the skin excess and laxity must be concerned. Here, a mini tummy tuck operation will provide a tighter appearence. Lipo can be done in a more modest way to prevent skin sagging or shrinking in the abdominal area. Although pictures help, final decision must be made up on physical examination.
