Hi I’m 4’11 135 lbs and have 2 kids. I really want to get Lipo 360 and BBL but I do not want a tummy tuck. Is it really necessary for me to get a Tummy Tuck to be happy with my results?
Answer: Mommy Makeover I always recommend choosing a Board certified plastic surgeon to achieve optimal results. You could go ahead with liposuction and BBL. Talk with your surgeon about doing small amount of abdominal & flank Vaser liposuction after they perform most of the fat harvesting regular liposuction. The regular liposuctioned fat will be transferred to your buttocks. Vaser liposuction helps to tighten the skin. The Vaser liposuctioned fat can not be transferred though as it is killed using the heat and ultrasonic technology that helps to tighten the skin in the areas it is used on. There’s still a chance you’ll have loose skin on your abdomen. After you are healed you can decide if you are happy with the way everything looks or if you want that possible skin removed. If you’d like to go over everything in more detail, feel free to reach out to my office for a consultation. Smith Plastic Surgery 702-838-2455

Answer: Lipo 360 and BBL Dear Reserved302400, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. You might also get improvement with BBL. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Abdomen You might start with liposuction and see what kind of results you have once the excess fat is removed. You are very sway back so your abdomen will always protrude unless you can improve your posture.

Answer: Achieving desired results Thank you for your question regarding which procedures would help you get your desired results. Thank you for including photos of you currently. Generally, after two or more pregnancies, women do have some separation of the abdominal muscles and some skin laxity. To fully answer your question, it would be helpful to know what your goals are. I recommend that you have an in person consultation with you or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area.

Answer: Considering procedures Based on the submitted photos it appears you will have improvement of subcutaneous fat with liposuction and can have enhancement of the buttocks. However your photos show there is abdominal wall laxity. This cannot be addressed with liposuction, but is instead corrected by a tummy tuck. If your goal is to have a flat abdomen you will need to consider the tummy tuck.
