Laser liposuction - will it help with hang over tummy pouch? (Photos)

Question

I had a c section almost 9 years ago however I’ve had 2 kids since with another one on the way due in less than 10 weeks. I was wondering if liposuction would help get rid of the little hang over tummy pouch I have from the c section once of course the little one is here. I am absolutely disgusted with the hang over and it makes me feel gross when trying to wear cute outfits. Thank you for any feedback on which routes to take

Hello, first of all, congratulations on your pregnancy.
After multiple pregnancies and a C section, the “hang over” area is usually not just fat. It often involves skin laxity and sometimes muscle separation. Liposuction, including laser assisted liposuction, removes fat but does not remove excess skin or repair muscle.
If the issue is primarily loose skin or a fold caused by scar tethering, removing fat alone may actually make the overhang look more pronounced rather than improved. Laser liposuction does not replace skin removal in cases where laxity is present.
The most effective solution for a true lower abdominal overhang is typically a tummy tuck performed after you have completed pregnancies and your weight has stabilized. That procedure allows removal of excess skin and correction of muscle separation if present.
It would be wise to wait until after delivery, recovery and weight stabilization before considering any surgical plan. Addressing the anatomy properly at the right time will provide a more reliable and lasting result.
Wishing you a healthy delivery and a smooth recovery ahead.
