43 year old female. For the most part happy and ok with my body except my stomach. Had lipo in 2018, mixed feelings on that procedure. Noticing some extra fat/rolls under my breast rib cage area. Lower tummy has cellulite. I don’t have cellulite anywhere else. Would like a flatter tummy but concerned about skin issues/laxity. Not sure if surgical or non surgical is the way to go.

Answer: Bellesoma Method If you are concerned about the extra skin rolls around the rib cage then perhaps you should consider a breast lift. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. This will take care of the upper abdomen and may allow you to get by with a mini tummy tuck or liposuction.

Answer: Abdominal contouring Hello and thank you for your question! The most powerful way to transform the appearance of the belly and flanks and through a lipoabdominoplasty (tummy tuck). Liposuction alone removes only fat and does not remove skin, so if there is concern about skin laxity pre operatively, liposuction alone is likely not the answer for you. I would recommend an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss if this may be the right surgery for your body type/anatomy.
