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: Additional Liposuction Most people think that liposuction is intended for people with lots of excess fat. This isn’t necessarily true. Yes, Lipo will remove fat, but it is a BODY SHAPING procedure, not a weight loss procedure. This means that the best candidates are people who are in good shape and have a healthy lifestyle, BUT still have some “trouble” areas that do not respond to diet and exercise. So, yes, you can probably benefit from liposuction if you want to shape your waistline or any other area. There isn’t going to be a lot of fat removed, but that’s ok because targeted removal of a small amount of fat from the right places can make a big difference. Make sure to see an experienced board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in liposuction, since your case will take a high level of expertise.

Answer: Additional lipo? From your photos and description of your concerns it appears you would benefit from some additional liposuction to improve the abdominal contour. You can add Morpheus8 treatments as well to improve skin tone and texture. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

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.
