Female, 27, 5'7", 120 lbs. Would any type of surgery fix my b belly? (Photos)

Question

Hello, I am a 27-year-old female. I’m 5 foot7 and I weigh about 120 pounds. I’ve always been quite slim, but since I can remember, I’ve had an indent in the middle of my stomach that causes a B shape of my belly. It causes an upper and lower pooch, no matter how small I am. I have tried everything except surgery, because I’m unsure of surgery can help?

At 5'7 and 120 lbs., your BMI is 19, which is the low end of normal.  I'm not sure liposuction can do anything for you.  You need to be examined in person to determine what may be needed.

Best Wishes,

Hello,
Thank you for the question. From the photos, it appears that your best option is a tummy tuck.
I wish you the best.

Hello, thank you for your question.. Since yje belly bottom area is ok... there are some options to correct this, VASER liposuction with Retraction can be helpful... And another option is combine it with a Mini Tummy Tuck technique.

Thank you for your question.
Based on your description, you would likely be a good candidate for liposuction combined with J‑Plasma. This approach can help remove localized fat while tightening the skin, and is often ideal for slim patients with mild skin laxity.
A consultation can determine the most effective plan to achieve your goals.
I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question.
Based on your description, you appear to be a suitable candidate for liposuction with J-Plasma, which can help refine contour while also tightening the skin. This combination is often effective in slim patients with localized fullness and mild skin laxity.
A consultation would help confirm the best plan for your goals.
I hope this helps.

Based on the 2 up close focus length photos I recommend virtual consult with. Might offer liposuction with J-plasma/Endo Laser combination. Fee $6,000-$10,000. But might offer tummy tuck surgery with lateral Lipo ? So again best to virtual consult

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

From the submitted photos the recommendation for the best result would be a tummy tuck.  This would remove excess fat and skin as well as correct abdominal wall laxity.  The result would be a flatter, tighter tummy.  However you mentioned that you're 27.  If you are intending to have children in the future it is best to postpone this procedure until you have completed your family as future pregnancies can impact your results.  You can consider liposuction for improvement until you are ready for a tummy tuck.
