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

Asked By:vgroovy in Berkeley, California

I’m a 43 year old mother of one. I had my child in my mid-20s, and gained 25 pounds with the pregnancy. I am very physically active through a combination of strength and spinning.I have belly fat and underarm fat that I want to get rid of. I’m a healthy weight for my height, but still about 7 pounds from my personal “happy weight”. Would lipo work to improve contour, allow me to wear bikinis and tank top more confidently, or should I get a tummy tuck? I don’t want the hip to hip scar.
