Am I a good candidate for a BBL with 360 Lipo? Do I need a tummy tuck? (photos)

You are a great candidate for a tummy tuck to remove the fat-skin excess and fix the belly for a flatter one. Lipo on the upper abdomen, Sides, upper-lower back with waist definition plus fat transfer to the buttocks and hip area BBL.

Thank you for your question regarding Thank you for your question regarding if you’re a good candidate for 360 liposuction or if you need a tummy tuck. By examining your pictures I see that you have stretch marks. This tells me that your skin has been stretched out and will not snap back tightly after liposuction. If you do not want the tummy tuck, you could do the Lipo 360 with the BBL and wait to see your results. If you are unhappy with the excess skin, you could then have part 2: a tummy tuck. The tummy tuck will be great because muscle plication will help with your distended tummy.

If you are avoiding multiple surgeries, you can get the tummy tuck with liposuction of the arms, back, flanks, and thighs (almost lipo 360) with fat transfer to the buttocks.

I hope this helps to answer your question regarding if you are a good candidate for a BBL with 360 lipo and a tummy tuck.
