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.

Answer: A: You won't need tummy tuck. Liposuction will suffice. 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.

Answer: Liposuction candidate 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.
