I had a consultation with PS and. He said Im not a candidate for a tummy tuck or muscle repair due to scar tissue. Ive had abdominal liposuction twice first time in 2008 2nd time in 2015 and I had weightloss surgery. He said I would be at risk for incision opening and necrosis. So he recommends a flankplasty. Will a flankplasty improve the loose skin on the abdominal at alll??
Answer: Options in Body Contouring Hello and thank you for your question. While it is impossible to make a complete assessment based on a single image, it appears your concerns are focused around the midsection. A flankplasty would focus on the hips and not provide much improvement in the area where you need it most. It’s possible you could see some good results from non-surgical skin tightening or additional liposuction performed by an experienced, board-certified dermatologist. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with one of these professionals to determine whether this approach might be a good choice for you.

Answer: Liposuction Thank you for your question. Based on your photos you appear to be a good full body intense liposuction including abdomen, waist, laterals and upper and lower back to improve your body contour and get better curves, especially in your waist area.

Answer: Will a flankplasty help my stomach to look flatter? (photo) Flankplasty focuses on the area of the hips, rather than the entirety of the lower abdomen. Noting that you had WLS and are experiencing substantial scar tissue and flab, the TT would address abdomen laxity and muscle repair. Having had liposuction before does not contraindicate a TT.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Lipo Candidate - VASER HD, J Plasma/Renuvion/Inmode BodyTite tightening, fat grafting for buttock lift/BBL, Cellfina/Sculptra this can be improved with tummy tuck, flankplasty which ive never heard of as a term but skin removal from the sides which is prob what you mean will not improve the stomach.
