I am 5'9 155lbs, no children, 39 yrs. Always thin arms and legs, but always pot belly "pooch". I know pics are desired. But are there certain things that are dead give-aways when making this choice? I want a flat tummy.

CONTACT NOW Answer: What are some signs that you might need tummy tuck VS Liposuction? The major indication for a tummy tuck is the extra sagging skin in the abdomen. Abdominal fat can be extracted by liposuction but the laxity of the skin in the abdomen will not be corrected. Liposuction alone often leads to disappointing results. A combination of a tummy tuck with liposuction will take care of the stubborn abdominal fat as well as all the extra sagging skin resulting in a more defined hourglass shape.

Answer: Tummy Tuck versus Liposuction Liposuction is a very powerful technique in the right hands, and can have dramatic results in a variety of areas and a in a variety of patients. That said, the ideal liposuction candidate has localized fat deposits and quality overlying skin without significant excess skin or skin damage. Fat can then be removed to a]strategically sculpt the body and accentuate feminine curves. The skin then retracts over the new shape to give the final result.Tummy tuck, also know as abdominoplasty, is a procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen and to restore the weakened abdominal wall, giving a firmer and smoother appearance. We nearly always add liposuction to our tummy tucks to sculpt the body 360 degrees to achieve an ideal feminine figure.

Answer: Tummy tuck vs. Liposuction A tummy tuck is indicated if there is muscle separation. Liposuction alone can remove fatty pockets, but will not address muscle wall laxity. If there is loose, hanging skin this can be worsened with liposuction, so a tummy tuck would be indicated in this situation as well. The best recommendation for you will come from a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.
