5'6", 130 pounds, two c sections. Do I need a tummy tuck or is Lipo 360 enough? (Photos)

Thank you for your question and photos. Based on these photos, you are a good candidate for VASER Hi Def Lipo 360 with fat transfer to the buttocks. As a Total Definer surgeon, I specialize in advanced body contouring procedures. Might need Renuvion skin tightening of the abdomen, but this cannot be assessed without an in person physical examination. See a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck. See attached example, patient had previous C-section and did not want an abdominoplasty. She did not want fat transfer to her buttocks.

Choosing the correct procedure should be done based on having a clear understanding of what the underlying problem or is.There are four tissue layers that determine what the abdomen looks like. In order these are. Abdominal skin laxity due to previous pregnancies or weight loss, excess subcutaneous fat, muscle separation from previous pregnancies, and excess visceral or intra-abdominal fat.Most of the issues related to your abdomen are pregnancy related, which means skin laxity, and muscle separation.If you wanna tight flat abdomen, then you’ll need a tummy tuck.If you just want to reduce the subcutaneous fat layer than Liposuction will do that.with well done, Liposuction, your abdomen can look somewhat better, but never as tight and flat as a tummy tuck can deliver.The question isn’t what you need.The question is what do you want and what are you willing to do to get there?You are an excellent candidate for a BBL.Personally, I don’t like doing a BBL in conjunction with a tummy tuck, but there are plenty of surgeons who do.Ask providers to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before, and after pictures of previous patients who let similar body characteristics.If having a better female curve is important than a BBL is the better procedure.If having a flat abdomen is more important that a tummy tuck is the correct procedure.Both procedures will give you the best results.There are market differences in outcomes, depending on provider selection.In the end provider selection is probably more important than any other variable potentially even more important than what procedure you choose.In the hands of the right provider, you’ll have a lifetime of enjoyment from the changes. In the hands of the wrong provider you’ll be left disappointed or worse.Have more consultations than you may think was necessary.Always schedule in person consultations.You are responsible for vetting a plastic surgeons.It’s your job to find the right provider, even though you may not have any experience vetting plastic surgeons.The more consultations you schedule the better you’ll be at the process.
