I’m a 42 year old mother of 3 I was told by a surgeon that only a tummy tuck would work on me. Then another surgeon said that Lipo would work because my skin is still nice. But I’m very confused. Because of the down time of a TT And scar. I rather do a Lipo 360 with vaser & Jplasma skin tightening. I’m 171 lbs BMI 30 Will this surgery work on me? I was also very bloated in these pics.
Answer: Ideal option would be an Abdominoplasty Thank you for your pictures and questions! You would really benefit the most from both an abdominoplasty and liposuction of the flanks and back. Based on the pictures your skin looks too lose for just laser liposuction and I would be worried you wouldn't be satisfied with the amount of skin tightening you could get. Although the recovery time is longer for a tummy tuck, the results are that much better and could potential help you loose about 5-10 lbs. I make the scar very low in the bikini line so that in a swim suite or underwear you would not be able to see it. I highly recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon who you feel comfortable with to discuss your concerns and come up with the right procedure for you.

Answer: Will lipo be enough for that belly? The belly needs lipo AND tummy tuck. The back and sides need lipo only. The reason for the tummy tuck is the pot belly. Your belly sticks out starting above the belly button because your abdominal muscles are loose and separated. Exercise can't fix this. Lipo can't fix this. Unbloating can't fix this. Only a tummy tuck will do the job. Lipo alone will leave you with the pot belly, loose skin and a overall displeasing result. People with limited experience in lipo might THINK that lipo alone will do the job, but they would be mistaken.

Answer: Lipo 360 Liposuction 360 will remove stubborn fat and tighten skin around your waist, back and abdomen without a tummy tuck. I prefer Vaser ultrasound. If your abdomen has internal fat, this will not respond to any surgery- only diet and exercise, which is usually much easier after 360 liposuction removes the outer, stubborn areas.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to confirm this as well as discuss your options and expectations.

Answer: Liposuction Candidate -- VASER HI-DEF Liposculpture vs Smart Lipo, ThermiRF, fat grafting, Tummy Tuck, Renuvion, Inmode BodyTite Smart Lipo is good for stubborn areas of fat, but lacks body contouring and shaping. For best results, I recommend a hi-definition procedure like VASER liposuction, which can be performed at the same time as a tummy tuck, if there is skin laxity. I use VASER HI-DEF with ThermiRF, Renuvion (J Plasma), InMode BodyTite, and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi-definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer
